Just add the following code to your .emacs file:

(when (not window-system)
  (set-face-foreground 'minibuffer-prompt "white")
  ;; more customizations for no-window mode ...
  )

However, this won't work when using emacsclient -t. So if you run server
or daemon mode, use this instead:

(defun my-color-customizations-for-nw (frame)
  "Runs after creating new frames"
  (select-frame frame)
  (when (not window-system)
    (set-face-foreground 'minibuffer-prompt "black" frame)))
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'my-color-customizations-for-nw)
