The values get set in 

   /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults/NXTerm 

If you want to change the defaults for everyone on your system, then change 
the colors in this file.  If you want to change the color for just you, then 
place

   nxterm*background:      White
   nxterm*foregrond:	Black

in ~/.Xdefaults
