Depending on the terminal application, you can usually specify it with
command line options.  But you can also specify it in Xresources
settings.  So you might specify 

XTerm*foreground: gray90
XTerm*background: black

In ~/.Xresources or 


*foreground: gray90
*background: black

in /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm (or wherever your distribution
puts its Xresources info).  The first is a user-specific example, the
latter machine-wide.
