Well, you can put a bunch of lines in your .emacs file that look something like this:
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "green" )
but that is rather tedious. I found this nice emacs package called color-theme that has about 30 color schemes that you can choose from. They are all donated by different emacs users and a lot of them aren't that great, but I did find a few that I really like. Good instructions for getting it set up can be found here:

If that page isn't clear enough I can walk you through it. I like color-theme-dark-blue2.
