When i restart my Mac, XQuartz comes with a black window and pale yellow 
(Wheat) foreground. But if I need to restart XQuartz directly, it becomes white 
and black foreground. Since I usually open a number of widows and I disabled 
the shortcuts with CMD, I have several aliases to open them where I change the 
fontsize like the following one:

alias xterm10
xterm -sb -fg Wheat -bg black -cr green -ms red -fa Monaco -fs 10&

My first window, whether white or black will therefore open other windows in 
black background by typing xterm10 or xterm7, etc.
