In a terminal (rxvt-unicode).

In my ~/.Xdefaults I have the following for my terminal:
urxvt*background: #000000
urxvt*foreground: #ffffff
I have nothing related to emacs colors in ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.emacs.

Ok, it is here : http://siteouebe.free.fr/public/tex-submit-bug-report
By the way I added a little screenshot :

See the problem when I am working with emacs/auctex in a terminal with
a black background.
I have found a workaround:
I have added the following lines to my ~/.emacs file:
(set-background-color "black")
(set-foreground-color "white")
There are useless for a normal use of emacs, since the background was
already black and the foreground already white, but it solves the
problem with auctex: the latter does not use a black font anymore to
highlight the text.
