FWIW I have been using this for years on a white background and it's
much more readable:
if &background == "dark"
hi Comment term=bold ctermfg=Cyan guifg=#80a0ff
hi Constant term=underline ctermfg=Magenta guifg=#ffa0a0
hi Special term=bold ctermfg=LightRed guifg=Orange

hi PreProc term=underline ctermfg=LightBlue guifg=#ff80ff
hi Type term=underline ctermfg=LightGreen guifg=#60ff60 gui=bold
hi Ignore ctermfg=black guifg=bg
else
hi Comment term=bold ctermfg=DarkCyan guifg=Blue
hi Constant term=underline ctermfg=DarkBlue guifg=Magenta
hi Special term=bold ctermfg=DarkRed guifg=SlateBlue

Insert in ~/.vim/syntax.vim and make sure your ~/.vimrc has:
if has("syntax")
let mysyntaxfile = "~/.vim/syntax.vim"
let myscriptsfile = "~/.vim/scripts.vim"
let myfiletypefile = "~/.vim/filetype.vim"
syntax on
endif
