Most syntax highlighting palettes are created by people with no graphic design/usability sense. What are some great examples of really lovely to look at (for long periods of time) and useful syntax highlighting palettes/schemes?

Vim's built-in darkblue scheme is my favorite. I also like this guy's schemes.

i like vibrant ink for textmate and its visual studio clone. if you are using visual studio i would suggest checking out the envy font - it has a visual studio specific version which switches bold and italic.

I use the Zenburn color scheme and Inconsolata font.

I like the TextMate Blackboard theme. I quickly googled this but couldn't find a screenshot but did find many vim and emacs ports.

I've tried a lot of colour schemes but I always end up going back to Vibrant Ink (linked earlier) or Desert (for vim) (that's just a preview of what it's like, I'm not sure if it's the most up-to-date version of the colour scheme).

I like the Railscasts theme for Vim. Here's a screenshot on Linux and here's one on my Mac.
