title: How do I set up Emacs colors correctly?
body: <p>I've set up two versions:</p>
  
  <pre><code>My computer      apt-get   emacs 23.0.91
  Remote server    yum       emacs 21.4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've downloaded color-theme-6.6.0, put the files in /usr/share/emacs/-version-/lisp/, and I have this in my .emacs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(require 'color-theme)
  (color-theme-initialize)
  (color-theme-midnight)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running emacs in a terminal, all the colors show up correctly on my computer, but on the server, I only get two colors??? The background is one color, and the text is another, no matter what theme I choose. No errors show up when I start emacs.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
