I created this color scheme a while ago but had not posted it yet. Distant Shores is a low-contrast color scheme with a dark background.
I've been using it for a while now and it's fairly usable (particularly on a bright screen); though it is a bit different than most of my other themes. It's (loosely) based on the Stormy Seashore color palette, with a few additions for contrast and provide basic coloring to user types in C#.

As usual in most of my schemes, this one is using Damien Guard's Envy Code R VS font.
Visual Studio 2005 version.
Visual Studio 2008 version.

Thanks Tomas, I love this color scheme.
I’m using it with Envy Code R Bold (11 point) in VS 2008 for c++ and I’ve also adapted it to a few other text editors (Just to keep things consistent).
I might try to adapt some of the other colors to make use of VA-X’s enhanced syntax coloring.
Looks great, thanks again.
Beautiful theme .. keeps my eyes happy .. I am using it with Monaco font .. looks nice
