While we're at it, I would like to mention an interesting project: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized It does not (mainly) focus on web accessibility. Actually, testing its default web page scheme actually fails with the WebAIM tool: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=657B83&bcolor=FDF6E3 I didn't get used to the Solarized theme immediately (reading the web page mentioned above), but after a while, it becomes quite relaxing for the eye. And there is a theory behind this: "On a sunny summer day I love to read a book outside. Not right in the sun; that’s too bright. I’ll hunt for a shady spot under a tree. The shaded paper contrasts with the crisp text nicely. If you were to actually measure the contrast between the two, you’d find it is much lower than black text on a white background (or white on black) on your display device of choice. Black text on white from a computer display is akin to reading a book in direct sunlight and tires the eye. Solarized reduces *brightness contrast* but, unlike many low contrast colorschemes, retains *contrasting hues* (based on colorwheel relations) for syntax highlighting readability." Could be useful for skin creators, web pages with source code, etc. Just my 2 cents.
