(defun color-scheme-gray ()
  (interactive)
  (set-background-color                     "DeepSkyBlue4")
  (set-foreground-color                     "white")
  (x-set-foreground-color "black")
  (x-set-background-color "gray90")
  (x-set-cursor-color "red")
  (x-set-mouse-color "red")
  '(set-face-foreground (internal-find-face 'italic) "orange")
  (setq font-lock-face-attributes
        '((font-lock-comment-face        "LightGray")
          (font-lock-string-face         "Aquamarine")
          (font-lock-keyword-face        "Yellow")
          (font-lock-function-name-face  "Pink")
          (font-lock-variable-name-face  "LightGoldenrod")
          (font-lock-type-face           "PaleGreen")
          (font-lock-reference-face      "Orange")))
  (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
  (font-lock-make-faces t)
  )
 
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
 
you call the  color-scheme-gray (or whatever you name it) on your mode.
for colorization use the font-lock-mode variable
I do not know for what version of emacs this is not working (I think >21
but I do not remember)
Anyway this works for me. I had more nigfty things, but I mostly forgot 
:((((

Hope this helps
