Ok, i checked /etc/X11/Xsession.options and the line
'allow-user-resources' was there.
I installed xtermset using apt which enabled me to change the colors
from the command-line as suggested earlier, so that works :-)
I have also specified the new settings in ~/.Xresources and ran 'xrdb
-load .Xresources' as advised by Cameron and it has worked.
Thanks very much to those who helped me.
