As a long time IRIX hacker (I worked behind an IRIX workstation daily until 2006!) the first thing I did upon switching to OS X was reconfigure Terminal.app to these colors. The only caveat with yellow on dark blue is that the default VIM syntax highlighting is absolutely unreadable on top of it. You either must be using an explicit vim theme that specifies a background color or at the very least ':set bg=dark' in order to use syntax highlighting in vim. Screenshots of an IRIX desktop can be seen here. Cheers! FYI, this was the default style for IRIX’s 4dwm terminal windows (winterm/xwsh) on SGI machines for as far back as I can remember (IRIX 4.x).

I finally settled on Monaco 12pt on a slightly yellow background (255,251,232). Now if I could only use my scroll wheel in vim. I spent a lot of time getting my Terminal.app the way I like it.
