I play around with terminal colors occasionally (a great time waster)  
but the main colors I care about in a terminal are my vim color  
scheme... those looks best in a black on white terminal. I know  
because for years I used a white on black terminal, but always had a  
hard time seeing the dark blue on black... it finally dawned on me  
that it would look a lot better if I had a white background (duh!)

I guess you could create your own color schemes for everything, but I  
don't have that kind of time!
