I use One Dark[1], since it's also my preferred color scheme on Atom.

Since I use both editors numerous times throughout the day depending on what I'm doing it's very convenient having both look similar.

Solarized Dark

But I switch frequently

+1 for Solarized Dark, light when sun hits my screen
I use iTerm2's homebrew theme, because I like bright green text on black background, I feel the text is stunning and clear.
I've always used Tomorrow Night and always will. The other ones try too hard and use strange colors I never see anywhere else (esp. solarized)
Does anybody know how to get themes working properly in iTerm2 on a Mac? I've downloaded all kinds of themes and some look good, others look bad, but not one of them looks like it's "supposed" to look like from screenshots online.
Most of them need also same theme for terminal to work as expected.
Black or white for bg, white or black for fg and gray for comments and strings.
Default light vim colorscheme with custom modifications in .vimrc. I want everything work out of box without modifications of terminal colours like in Solarized. But used jellybeans for long time before that.
