4bit - Terminal Color Scheme Designer

I wonder if most engineers find the terminal unpleasant to look at, or is it mostly the "artsy" engineers that are bothered by it...
Solarized is one of the few that looks decent, but I don't agree with the deep blue.

You can also force-load it (into your current X11 session) with:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources

Oddly, the author didn't include it in the 4bit Github repo. Run the script for yourself to compare against your current color scheme.
(Also the designer appears to have based one of the key colour choices on his memories of almost drowning to death as a child. http://www.metafilter.com/102504/Solarized#3636286)
Also solarized comes with various different "contrast versions" have you tried them all? By the way, what's your choice in color scheme being color blind and all?
I find it has good contrast between colours in general. In particular I can actually read the blue it uses on a black background. Most of the colours have good contrast with each other even at extremely low saturation too.
For my vision there are some small tweaks I sometimes make to it but it is generally the most agreeable match to my abnormality I've found in a preset so far.
Go to http://ciembor.github.com/4bit. Design your terminal look. Click .Xresources button and save it to ~/.Xresources. Run xrdb ~/.Xresources. Get back to work (or to the first step).
