Actually that is spread all over the g_*.c files _and_ pd.tk (aka 
u_main.tk).

There has been some effort in impd_0_37 to bring all this together and so 
you can change the default colours at the end of pd.tk (still aka 
u_main.tk) or from your ~/.pd.tk config file or tcl evalbox (which is also 
an impd-feature). it goes like:

   global look
   set look(objectbg) "#ffddee"

will change the object background colour to some kind of pink. If you want 
to do this in devel_0_37 or 0_38 you have to change g_text.c and i don't 
recall how many other things.

However impd_0_37 will probably be abandoned in the state it is now as i 
will merge _some_ of it to devel_0_38 or devel_0_39 (?) and i'm not sure 
about the rest yet. The colours config is part of the more experimental 
features that will only be merged later on (impd_0_38, devel_0_40 ???)
