    You have too many characters in your color defs. Change background color to #FFFFFF and foreground color to #000000. You can use an online tool such as this one, http://www.colorpicker.com/ to pick the colors you want. You can also use color names, like red, black or blue. Also, in case others are having this issue, make sure you uncheck use-theme-colors, as it is checked by default.

  3. Install dconf-editor by sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

    Open dconf-editor, go to org-gnome-gedit. Change background-color and foreground-color. Then don't forget to uncheck use-theme-color
