If you're talking about the maxima.el in the emaxima directory, I was
using caffeine (lots of it).

The faces are all customizable, so if you go into customize:
M-x customize-group
the choose the group maxima, you'll be able to change the colors.
What I need to do is have the different levels of font-lock available,
currently only one level is there, and use the standard font-lock
faces (e.g. font-lock-keyword-face) instead of custom faces
(e.g. maxima-keyword-face) where feasible. I'll do that soon.
