in reply to colours for syntax highlighting

I generally use Emacs' CPerl mode and its default syntax highlighting colors on a light background. I have found that having a consistent set is more valuable than any particular aesthetics, but your mileage may vary.

    After activating a theme via M-x load-theme you'll get a "consistent set" of colours.

    I'm using zenburn - a port from vim - but there are many more available.

      By "consistent" I meant more that the colors do not change. In other words, picking a color scheme and staying with it, and I have been using Emacs for much longer than I have known that it had this feature... but maybe it is time to try a change...

      Thanks.
