Can anyone recommend color schemes other than Solarized that have extensive support across board (not only vim, but all the plethora of terminal emulators, command-line applications, etc.)?

Solarized is too low-contrast for me, so I have hacked-on support for hybrid (solarized syntaxes + tommorow color codes), but it's not really uniform. And, imho, well-balanced contrast is the most important thing.

Non-exhaustive list of applications that I'd like to see supported - vim, emacs, tmux, weechat, vifm, newsbeuter, taskwarrior, mutt...

I wish I could choose a language to preview the schemes with. My biggest gripe with many of these themes is that is looks great in some languages and terrible for everything else.

My personal favorite is the railscasts theme. Wide support for iTerm and other applications aswell.

Slightly related, I don't like (mostly in OOP langs) when I have something like:

    import lang.native.api.Something;
    import third.party.api.Else;

...and syntax file goes to colorize Something, but Else is perceived as common text.

I'm aware of limitations of vim, being text editor and not an IDE, but I'd rather syntax file to ignore the native API then to have me draw visual distinction between native and third-party classes when, effectively, I couldn't care less. The dissimilarity is just visual noise to me. :/

Seconded. A language selector would make choosing a theme for your language with this tool much more effortless.

This is great. I'd like the ability to live-filter over and above the ability to search. Also, more than 10 hits per page. It'd be wonderful to have some sort of voting or popularity metric to sort by. And, for pie-in-the-sky features it would be nice to have filters based upon contrast / hues / etc. other than just "dark" and "light."
