(0) /home/keeling/_ grep -i emacs .Xresources 
emacs.foreground:           LightSlateGray
emacs.background:           black
emacs.cursorColor:          orangered
emacs.font:                 -*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-80-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
emacs.geometry:             106x42+4+18
emacs.pointerColor:         orangered

A note, by the way: emacs colors make sense for white on black, or
black on white.  In between is a very misundertood area.

However, assuming you mean color as in colorized program code:

~/.emacs:
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
(global-font-lock-mode t)
