Can't help you with the console: while this may be possible; I don't know
how to do it.

For xterm, take a look at the -fg and -bg command line args, or the
following X resources:

xterm*foreground
xterm*background
xterm*cursorColor
xterm*pointerColor
xterm*pointerColorBackground

All of this is documented quite nicely on the xterm manpage; give it a
read.
