It'll do that only if the terminal supports coloured text.  You can
disable that for the postscript terminal using the 'blacktext' option.,

That's all the control  you currently have over the key entry text colour
in gnuplot.

Not if you want the fill colour to be anything else but white.
There are white-filled versions of most symbols in the PostScript
driver.

Don't fill them then.  Filling means more ink on the paper, increasing
the risk of symbols overpainting each other until they're no longer
decipherable.
