Font color

I am a fairly new emacs/LaTeX user.    I have been looking to solve an
issue I have, but I apparently do not really understand how to
customize AucTeX and Emacs.

I am running Aquamacs 1.8c.  I do not know what version of AucTeX that
is, and I do not know how to find out.

Anyway, I am running Aquamacs with a black background/white font
setting.  The color for normal text in a tex file is gray.  That does
not read well on a black background.  Is there a way to change that?

Less important, but it would be nice to know, is how avoid that text
in \section{} be of a larger size.

Thanks,
Enrico Indiogine

Set point on the text whose face you want to change and do

  M-x customize-face RET

Edit to your likings.

That's the hard way.  The easy way is described in the manual.

Hard?

Do you mean this, or am I missing something?

Thanks to your explanations I was able by monkeying around to bring
the size of the section text to normal size.

I have not been able to figure out how to change the color of the faces.  E.g.

Text after %, comments is orange.
\section, \begin{} and so on is blue
section title is yellow
label title is cyan

I have no problem with these colors.  However, the color of normal
text is gray.  I want to change it to white or a very light gray
because my background is black.

I poked around all those custominzation pages but could not find where
the color is defined.

Thanks,
Enrico

I am using Aquamacs, which is not stock Emacs.  However, I managed to
solve my problem by:

Options -> Appearance -> Foreground color for Latex-mode

Yes, because you might end up having to change the face of every
sectioning level.

Please read the section "Sectioning commands" in
(info "(auctex)Fontification of macros")

Ah, found it, although the info section seems to be different in the
11.85 release.  Here it's "Sectioning commands" (info "(auctex)Font
Locking").
