Can you share your light one? I've never been able to find a white background scheme I actually love, rather than tolerate...
I have one here: https://github.com/romainl/vim-sweet16 but it is intentionally weird and essentially unmaintained.
We have many millenia of books using black text on a white background with various colors added, why are computer monitors all of a sudden so special and annoying
And because monitors are giant light bulbs. So a large white background is harder on the eyes than black.
