How to set default emacs background and foreground colors?

Question

In My .emacs file, I have the following:

(set-foreground-color "#E0DFDB")
(set-background-color "#102372")

When I start up emacs, the color scheme for the default emacs window is correct but all new windows start with the default color scheme of white back grounds and black foreground. Can Anyone point Me in the direction of how to get emacs to set My preferred color scheme in all new windows? [Note: If I do M-x load-file ~/.emacs after opening a new window, the colors are set the way I want but doing so manually every time I want to open a new window is distracting/annoying.]

Answer 1

Add the following to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "#E0DFDB")) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "#102372")) 

You might want to look at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FrameParameters and the links therein.
