Light Terminal Color-Scheme?

x0rg · 2009-12-29 12:10:19

I've been using a dark zenburn-like color-scheme for ages, but now, it looks a bit disintegrated with my light gtk/wm-theme.
I didn't see anyone using a bright terminal/vim color-scheme.
Is someone using a brighter color-scheme and can someone recommend me one? There is a huge colorscheme-test page for vim color-schemes but there isn't something for terminal schemes.

@x0rg
Man I've been think about this yesterday too!
What I got now is a self-cooked light terminal colorscheme which serves well for irssi and such. But for vim, I still use a dark background by setting `hi Normal ctermfg=253 ctermbg=237' in my vim colorscheme. My preferred vim theme works badly with light background. May make up a light version out of it if I can't stand the darkness anymore.

I got used to a (slightly) light colorscheme using bold font:

Could you post your .Xdefaults?

For sure. It's my first experiment of "colors by combination". It is not perfect but more of "the first breed of an exploration".

!lightmonad: 3C3 = 6 combinations
*background: #fcffdd
*foreground: #5e5e58
*cursorColor: #5e5e58
*color0: #666666
*color1: #ba3e73
*color2: #73ba3e
*color3: #ba733e
*color4: #3e73ba
*color5: #733eba
*color6: #3eba73
*color7: #aaaaaa
*color8: #434343
*color9: #87284d
*color10: #4d8728
*color11: #874d28
*color12: #284d87
*color13: #4d2887
*color14: #28874d
*color15: #8a8a8a

Enjoy.

i've been having similar colour ideas/troubles lately. thanks for the contribution, lolilolicon! that looks, at least, like a good starting point for my Xdefaults
