title: make emacs in a terminal use dark colors and not light font-lock colors
body: <p>I am using emacs on MacOS 10.6 with Terminal. I have a white background.</p>
  
  <p>It's very hard to read quoted C++ strings. They are coming up in pale green. Keywords are in turquoise. </p>
  
  <p>After searching through the source I cam across cpp.el and have determined that I am using the cpp-face-light-name-list instead of cpp-face-dark-name-list.</p>
  
  <p>Apparently this function is supposed to chose the correct list based on the background color:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(defcustom cpp-face-default-list nil
    "Alist of faces you can choose from for cpp conditionals.                                                           
  Each element has the form (STRING . FACE), where STRING                                                               
  serves as a name (for `cpp-highlight-buffer' only)                                                                    
  and FACE is either a face (a symbol)                                                                                  
  or a cons cell (background-color . COLOR)."
    :type '(repeat (cons string (choice face (cons (const background-color) string))))
    :group 'cpp)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't seem to be working.</p>
  
  <p>What should I put in my .emacs file so that I get the cpp-face-dark-list instead of cpp-face-light-list?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
