The colors used by portage, ls and vim always seem to have portions that are unreadable because of low contrast -- the text blends into the background.

I use 'light paper' for starters. The 'linux colors' scheme is good for some things, but I the darker colors don't show up well on it (blue in particular), and I pretty much avoid dark backgrounds when I can because I think they're depressing and they give me eyestrain.
