I like the themeing trend towards dark backgrounds and pastel colors.
I've been using Zenburn [1] for a couple years now, and I've really grown used to its unsaturated colors. 'Tomorrow' looks way too colorful for my taste, kinda like eating something too sweet after weaning yourself off sugar :)
My problem with Zenburn is that, unlike Tomorrow or Solarized, it doesn't have a good curated list of themes for various systems. I've had to hunt and peck for themes for Emacs, Konsole, Awesome, Chromium, Thunderbird, QT, GTK, and at this point would be challenged to provide a source and method for each...

Sing with me:
What can make boring code
Seem all fresh and new
Cover it in pastels
of both deep and light hue?
Color highlighting
Color highlighting can
Color highlighting can parse every line and check that the syntax is good
I've used Zenburn for about 2-3 years now, and it's pretty much the most restful I've ever found. Everything sort of is in the same 'area' of the spectrum, and stands up to those multi-hour working sessions.
