Here's what I use.  The trick is to put tty-compatible color names in
the color lists.  I also manually force TTYs to be color since not all
of my termcap entries claim color support.

;; try to be a colorized TTY
(if (eq (device-type (selected-device)) 'tty)
    (set-device-class (selected-device) 'color))

(require 'font-lock)

;; font-lock face setup based on sample.emacs
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-string-face (list "darkgreen" "green"))
(copy-face 'font-lock-string-face 'font-lock-doc-string-face)
;; Underline comments looks terrible on tty's
(set-face-underline-p 'font-lock-comment-face nil 'global 'tty)
(set-face-highlight-p 'font-lock-comment-face nil 'global 'tty)
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face (list "gray50" "blue"))

(copy-face 'bold 'font-lock-function-name-face)
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-function-name-face "red")

;; misc. faces
(and (find-face 'font-lock-preprocessor-face) ; 19.13 and above
     (copy-face 'bold 'font-lock-preprocessor-face))

(copy-face 'italic 'font-lock-type-face)
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-type-face (list "blue3" "blue"))

(copy-face 'default 'font-lock-other-type-face)
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-other-type-face (list "blue3" "blue"))

(copy-face 'bold 'font-lock-keyword-face)
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-keyword-face (list "blue3" "blue"))

(copy-face 'default 'cperl-invalid-face)
(set-face-background 'cperl-invalid-face (list "pink" "red"))
