Solarized - mmmMMM.
So this bloke has made a colour palette. Well, two. A light one and a dark one.
So this colour palette is great, and it turns out that the reason for it being great is that it's all based on colour theory and science'n'shit.
To add to the general air of excellence, it's packaged up for all sorts of terminals, IDEs and environments, from OS X Terminal to vim to Visual Studio. And if that doesn't do it for you, there's the RGB (and other) values at the bottom of the page.
It's called Solarized and it's here:

It's in the VS theme editor here:

Where's the terminal version?
The Vim directions strongly recommend setting your terminal to use it, but I don't see anything in the terminal section to make that happen. Got any pointers?

Ehh ... not liking this yet
I'm used to blacker black and brighter highlights. Will give it some time to acclimate before punting.
Oh, and thanks.

Okay, real usability issue here
I've got custom prompt colors in the .bashrc on every system I use. That way I can tell at a glance whether I'm working locally or on a server.
Since applying this theme to my terminal, it looks the same everywhere. This is just about to exceed my usefulness/fiddlyness threshold.

Ah, that sounds like a serious down-side. :-(

All of my prompts...
USER@HOSTNAME:PWD [LAST RETURN STATUS]$
For normal user:
PS1='\u@\h:\w [$?] \$ '
For purty colored Root user:
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\] [$?] \$ '

Hostname in the prompt becomes invisible
I don't check the prompt before doing something. I use a green prompt on my local box, yellow when root locally, blue on servers, red when root on servers. Been doing it for years and it's become completely automatic to notice.
Throwing that away for the sake of a nice color scheme in Vim is suboptimal.

Understandable.
This kind of thing is why I just can't throw away my last 15+ years using a Linux terminal vs am iTerm or other OSX terminal... and the changes to the key mappings.

unalias ls fixes that problem
