What are the best VIM color-schemes?

There are ready-made packages for Vim, IntelliJ, Emacs, iTerm, etc. If your app isn't supported the website explains clearly what colors are used, so it should be easy to wrap up your own.

Since Solarized has pretty good color separation it's easier to distinguish both thin and bold fonts.

Judging from the description that has been given by the author, it seems that this color scheme has been designed with huge background knowledge about colors and relations between them.

This is just one example of an app that doesn't work with vanilla Solarized Dark (half of the usernames in htop have the same color as the background) One has to use a patched htop version.
