Poll: What colours do you use in your shell?
In the movies the hackers almost always have a terminal with a black background and green text. Personally I use black text on a white background. I was wondering what combination is used the most and if there a lot of people actually using the 'matrix' style. Please explain in the comments why you chose your particular colour combination.

There was a discussion on Stack Overflow about the health benefits of dark vs. light backgrounds. Apparently black on white is best: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/498698/white-light-vs-bla...
black on gray95. black on white is the default xterm setup (in openbsd at least) so it's just what i've used forever, though i've recently been playing with different shades of light gray instead of white.
mutt, vim, epic, tmux, etc. are similarly styled, using color only when absolutely necessary (like flagged messages in mutt show up in red, comments in vim are a gray color)

I just tried out the colour scheme from the gitimmersion.com tutorial. Pastel green on very dark grey works well for me.
#d2d2d2 (very light grey) on #292929 (very dark grey)
