I have searched the info files, dotemacs.org and god knows where else
but I cannot find any info on setting colours when using emacs on a
console. I don't use X so those sections don't help.

My last power cut was 3d, 22h and 4m ago on Linux 2.2.19.

Emacs 20 doesn't yet support colors on a Unix tty. The next version will.
