Generally, you set the colors for such things as variables, functions,
comments, keywords, and so on. Each language will use the same
colors.
Try
Edit - Text properties - Display faces
to get a list and what the colors currently are.
Turning on the coloring can be done once for all modes.

The people on the news group tend to be helpful, especially if you did
try to RTFM first, and you ask nicely.
