title: emacs color theme initialization
body: <p>In emacs 24.3.1 I am trying to configure my default color theme. In my <code>.emacs</code> file I placed the following lines of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(require 'color-theme)                                                                      
  (color-theme-initialize)                                                                    
  (color-theme-hober) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To begin my session I open up the terminal and type <code>emacs</code>, all of the text has the right colors except the background is white and the text is black instead of the other way around (comments, keywords, and strings are the correct colors). If I perform the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>M-x load-file
  Load file: ~/.emacs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then all the colors are correct, as advertised when selecting color themes from the list after executing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>M-x color-theme-select
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note that if I quit emacs and go back to the terminal and restart emacs I have the same problem. As all my other settings in my <code>.emacs</code> file are working properly there must be some error specifically with the three lines of color-theme code above.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Why does it fix itself after I reload the <code>.emacs</code> file?</li>
  <li>How can I fix this so that all the correct colors are loaded from the start?</li>
  </ol>
