I'm trying to find good looking colorscheme for vim (urxvt 256 colors) editor. There are a lot of good schemes for gvim but not for vim 256. For this moment I've only found jellybeans https://github.com/nanotech/jellybeans.vim which is almost identical if you use it in gvim. I also know about solarized though I don't like it very much. What's your suggestions? What are you using in terminals that support 256 colors for vim?
