I'm afraid I use vim. My colour schemes come from (a) the terminal (often my screen is 100% terminals) and (b) the vim syntax highlighting. And I've got an easy-on-the-eyes colouring for the vim pane separator characters. My fingers know vim. Some others' fingers know emacs. So I mostly get my colours from my terminal setup, which means I have a consistent dark theme for most of my activities: editing, shells and email (mutt). And I have my terminal panes which don't have the keyboard focus slightly dim themselves. Alas, this does not recommend another editor for you.
