Upvoted for rainbow parentheses, which I just added to my .emacs =D

  Do you mind showing us how? I googled everywhere and only came up with a highlight-parentheses minor mode hack which only highlights the parentheses at the cursor.

      If you're interested in taking things in the opposite direction, try reducing the prominence of parentheses via ParenFace (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/ParenFace http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/ParenFace). I use a very light gray face for parentheses, which is barely visible on a white background.

        highlight-parentheses minor mode hack which is found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2413047/can-emacs-color-different-levels-of-matching-parentheses-with-a-rainbow-of-differ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2413047/can-emacs-color-d... seems to me like the best solution so far. It only applies "rainbow parens" to the parentheses and parents parentheses of the s-expressions at the cursor.

      I tried this mode today and it makes searching and editing terribly slow, even on a relative small file (~700 lines).
