Actually I recently tried out the edgemap, and at the same time I downloaded the SciAnaComp v1.0 plugin(find it at www.maxplugins.de). So I tried to tweak the colors somewhat with the use of SciAnaComp.

Just set the diffuse map to this plugin, when you open the map up you change the blending mode to multiply. The first map (Color #1) should be the EdgeMap, the second map(Color #2) the base color you want. Just to get black lines and a different base color.

To get white lines there is some more steps, basically you create a SciAnaComp with edgemap as before but set the blending to difference and the second map color to black, then you use this map in the material above as the first SciAnaComp Map(Color#1) and change the blending mode to map. And ofcourse, set Color #2 map to any base color you want.
