    Have you tried running M-x disable-theme ?

    If you have already loaded one theme and you want to replace it, you need to disable the one already loaded. That's what @Trevoke was, I think, trying to get at.

    Please share the parts of your .emacs that involve loading or requireing anything theme related (the theme in question looks like Solarized I think). If you have a separate file for your custom-set-variables, then share anything there concerning themes.

Reset to default

I had a similar problem, and here's how I fixed it:

I opened my init.el file and commented the last line of code:

'(default ((((class color) (min-colors 4096)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")) (((class color) (min-colors 256)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")) (((class color) (min-colors 89)) (:foreground "#5f5f5f" :background "#fdfde7")))))

and add the following code:

'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 120 :width normal :foundry "apple" :family "Menlo")))))

Restart Emacs, and you should be able to change theme.

    Not a great answer, IMO. (1) You don't show the context for that "last line" of your init file. (2) I'm guessing that the context is custom-set-faces. If so, the comment preceding it warns you explicitly not to edit it directly, but to change it using Customize. (3) You don't explain what your answer tries to do, or why.
