I use putty to ssh to linux box. By default I get black screen background with white foreground.
To change colours, I go to change settings -> Window/colours and then I set background colours as white and foreground colours as black. This is more easy on my eyes. But I can't seem to be able to set this colour setting as default and each time I login, I have to set colours.
Could someone please suggest a solution?
Thanks,

On the "Session" screen, click "Default Settings" and "Load". Then set up your Colors and other useful Options. Go back to the "Session" screen, click "Default Settings" once and then "Save".
All new connection windows will now look as expected.

The above instructions will only change colors for the default session. Most PuTTY users have saved sessions for each of the SSH accounts that they use regularly, and none of them are named "Default Settings".
To spare yourself the pain of having to set the colors every time you log in, load any of the saved sessions for which you wish to change the colors (click Load), but do not click Open. Click Window->Colours and set the colors, then click Session again, then click Save. Repeat for each of your saved sessions. Then when you open them, the colors will be what you have set them to be.

Alternately, if you don't want to set the colors in Putty itself, you can set them in your Linux shell (if you add commands to your .login they will run anytime you log in):
tput setab 5 <== sets background color
tput setaf 2 <== sets font color
clear <== clears the screen so the changes apply to entire window
Putty will respect these changes

To edit colors for existing sessions:
PUTTY stores session data in the windows registry.
I changed the default session colors (R, G, B) after I had many sessions created.
- blue to 15, 154, 229
- red 244, 67,54
In your registry
HKEY_LOCAL_USERSS-1-5-<biggest no.>SoftwareSimonTathamSessions
open the Default%20Settings folder. The key Color14 contains the value for blue, the key Color8 contains the value for red.
Simply double-click Color8 and copy the value and paste it to all other Sessions/folders in that "Sessions" folder, same with Color14.
You also could export the entire "Sessions" folder to a .reg file, edit it with and import it again.
