Yes, many! I use deeper-blue. solarized-light and -dark are also good. Themes don’t seem to work well with terminal emacs though, but I haven’t dug into the issue much since I’m mostly in the GUI.

Well, I wrote my own theme so I could have a consistent experience between GUI and terminal. It meant customizing my terminal colours so they were non-awful (the minimal 16 are super-garish, I have mine tuned for less harsh contrast but also more colour differentiation considering I'm red/green colourblind). I then used the same customized terminal colours in my GUI theme. It works like this: (if (display-graphic-p) (setq color-yellow "#f57900" color-bright-yellow "#fce94f" color-red "#ff6464" color-bright-red "#ef2929" color-bright-green "#73d216" color-green "#4e9a06" color-blue "#729fcf" color-bright-blue "#204a87" color-white "#babdb6" color-bright-white "#eeeeec" color-magenta "#ad7fa8" color-bright-magenta "#1d324b" color-black "#1a2022" color-bright-black "#2e3436" color-bright-cyan "#555753" color-cyan "#888a85") (setq color-black "black" color-white "white" color-red "red" color-green "green" color-blue "blue" color-yellow "yellow" color-cyan "cyan" color-magenta "magenta" color-bright-black "brightblack" color-bright-white "brightwhite" color-bright-red "brightred" color-bright-green "brightgreen" color-bright-blue "brightblue" color-bright-yellow "brightyellow" color-bright-cyan "brightcyan" color-bright-magenta "brightmagenta")) Then, later on, I use these colours for setting the faces for the cursor, region, keywords, comments, tweaking various different major modes, etc. With a true-colour capable terminal there's no technical reason to need to take these steps, but this approach works for me in rxvt-unicode and mintty, the two terminals I use on Linux and Windows respectively, and aren't mucked up by any level of tmux or screen nesting.
