Are we speaking about text console, or X?
For the former:
# echo "deb http://angband.pl/debian sid main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get install vtgamma
Run "vtgamma -e" to get a template (you can't get either orange nor green by
any combination of R/G/B gamma) then adjust the colours to your taste, then
output the given string, putting it into /etc/issue or bash's prompt if you
want that permanent.
For the latter:
# apt-get install compiz
$ compiz --replace
Enable the color filters and play with them, there's no orange/green monitor
emulation in the presets but you can make one.
Too bad, the user interface for compiz config is badly acting up in unstable
right now, but the functionality itself works fine.

(Quick hint: "stty -olcuc" restores sanity.)
