Yeah I like syntax highlighting but prefer subtle colors. I do prefer dark backgound. "Solarized" scheme has been my favorite for a few years now.

Of the canned ones in Vim, what do you think of "fnaqevan"?

By the way, something is wrong: my Vim isn't responding to ":set background=light" (or dark). The colors change, but not the background.
