Multiple background colors in Emacs?

I'm trying to get my emacs color scheme set up like I have it in Textmate. Currently, variables, methods, and comments have a different background color than the main body. See the following link for an example.

"Sure. The command you are looking for is M-x customize-face. Each different thing (variable, method, etc) has a face associated with it. For instance font-lock-comment-face.

If you put the point on a character, at type M-x list-text-properties-at it will tell you what face is being used to display that character.

If you type M-x list-faces-display, it will show you all of the faces."
