Are you running Emacs on a terminal (xterm, linux console, ms-dos etc.)
or under a windowing system?
If you're using a terminal, then consider switching to a version of
Emacs running in a windowing system where there's much more than just 8
colours available.
Some terminals also allow you to change the colours easily from a menu
-- this is probably the easiest solution if you *want* to use a
terminal.
You could also get a version of Xterm that supports up to 256 colours,
but you'll need an extra Emacs package to take advantage of it (Google
for `xterm-256color.el' or something similar).
