OK.

Generally, colors shall be brought into HTML page with the help of css
which is much more easier and also elegant way to do. You might prefer
to have a small *.cfg (TeX4ht configuration file that has your custom
setup for your documents, a bit like a LaTeX style file) in which you
might provide various custom css declarations that will eventually be
written out to your \jobname.css while generating html. Of course, for
simple \color or \textcolor for random text strings, the configuration
I had given in the previous mail will help.

The following \Css code can solve your problem:

\Css{div.lstlisting{font-family: monospace;
    white-space: nowrap; margin-top:0.5em;
    margin-bottom:0.5em;
    color: green ;
    background-color: black;}}

I have attached to this mail a specimen configuration, kevin.cfg which
shows you how to write one for your custom needs. Once you have a
*.cfg with custom setup, the invocation of TeX4ht shall be:

  htlatex <file> kevin

  (htlatex <your LaTeX file with/without extension> <configuration>)

Also attached are the TeX sources, pdf and html outputs. The advantage
of configuration is that your source file remains clean without any
TeX4ht specific stuff which allows seamless compilation with pdflatex
for pdf output.

If you are using GNU/Linux or similar OS, you might make use of a
Makefile with different targets for various outputs which makes the
process all the more enjoyable.
