color

I will be giving a lisp talk in a few days at a meetup I regularly attend. Attendees have complained in the past about my emacs color theme not being readable when projected. What is a emacs color-theme suitable for maximum readability when projected?

Post "Q & A" update

I did some experimentation and found these color themes to be acceptable for projection
