I think I have a non-standard coloring scheme. This shows a small piece of perl code. As for choroba it developed over time, and was chosen to be a compromise between easy to read and standing out. I like grayish backgrounds. Another reason is it fits well in my simple design for presentations I have used over the years.

FWIW, as I (still) use "elvis" (instead of vim, as (g)vim is very hard to get compiled on HP-UX and AIX with a working GUI), I do not use a named color scheme as g/vim offers.

" color role [like role] [attr ...] color [on color]
