Comment on 256 colors on the Linux terminal

Comments

I started using 256 color terminal a couple of years ago...there are a handful of really nice vim color schemes that take advantage of it. I'm a sucker for nice syntax highlighting, and this change made me happy for days. I found myself wanting to write more code so I could see it in the all it's colorful glory. That feeling has passed, however, so maybe I need to find another color scheme to try.

What color scheme did you use? I find myself loving the dark vim themes.

I think I've settled on desert at the moment. It's dark background, with very mellow highlight colors. Angry fruit salad it is not.

desert eh? I settled down with ir_black. It's pretty light on the eyes. I love it.
