Does anyone know how to enable Slime or emacs syntax highlighting of
lisp code?  I am using a mac, and having trouble finding any reference
for this in just emacs.  I have tried enabling syntax high lighting
with Slime but it's only using red's and black is that normal.  Is
there any syntax high lighting for just emacs standalone?

In Emacs, syntax highlighting is called "font lock".  As for
color themes, there are many available in a non-standard
package "color-theme" (google around).  Here are relevant
bits of my .emacs:

;; I keep all my custom emacs packages in ~/.emacs.systems
(let ((sysdir "/home/nathell/.emacs.systems"))
  (dolist (dir (directory-files sysdir))
    (unless (or (string= dir ".") (string= dir ".."))
      (add-to-list 'load-path (concat sysdir "/" dir)))))

;; misc. settings
(global-font-lock-mode)
(show-paren-mode 1)

;; color theme
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-deep-blue)

;; SLIME
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/home/nathell/acl80/bin/alisp")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

Did you try:

M-x lisp-mode
M-x font-lock-mode
