I've downloaded a variety of colorschemes for vim, but none of the white background colorschemes that I've tried have worked in vim, only in gvim. I expect this has to do with the color limitations of the terminal.
I don't need 256 colors, but I would like a decent looking white background that gives some syntax highlighting in the regular Ubuntu 11.04 terminal window.
Suggestions?

The lightest background possible is a light gray.
