Bandit Colour Scheme
This page contains the colour scheme that I use for all editing tasks. It is primarily designed for use with a dark background (as I find this easier on the eyes), but I'm gradually adding more support for light backgrounds as well. It makes full use of the available colour palette, so looks better in gvim than in console vim (although I still like the console version).
The colour scheme supports a lot more highlighting groups than most colour schemes (including the result of the ctags-based highlighter and Dr Chip's rainbow.vim).
