Description:

I created this colour theme in an attempt to minimize or at least reduce eyestrain. I took the following principles to heart while designing:
* Brighter things are more noticeable than darker things
* More saturated things are more noticeable than less saturated things at the same luminosity
* Primary and Secondary colours in the center of vision should not differ by more than a ratio of 3:1
* Colours present in non-peripheral sight should be no different than a ratio of 1:10 (hence the mid-grey theme; people in bright environments should lighten this theme, and people in pitch black locations should darken this theme)
* Green is seen more or less equally across the eye, while other colours tend to become desaturated in the peripherals
* Blue is ineffective foreground colour
* Red-Orange on Cyan-Blue improves reading retention
* Modern monitors are generally a colour temperature of 6500K (this theme was made 1' cooler in hue because of this)
Sources:
* http://www.sangrea.net/ohs_dbase/colour-color.htm
* http://www.fast-consulting.com/color/cp_toc.htm
It may not be perfect yet (and probably isn't), so I will update it every so often if I make changes to it.
Feel free to derive from this; it's released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, as noted below.
Enjoy! :)


Notes:
* I would also suggest using a dark Plasma theme
* I would also suggest changing your window glow-colour. Active Windows | Inner Colour: #D1DFD1 | Outer Colour: #777F77 || Inactive Windows | Inner Colour: #767C7F | Outer Colour: #3B3F3B
* As with all dark themes, some non-darkly themed websites (e.g. Facebook, amongst a couple others) may end up with a light font on a light background. I suggest either using a different gtk2 theme than oxygen-gtk or theming Firefox (or better yet, using the Firefox plugin "Stylish" (also available for Chrome and Opera)) to theme the webpages themselves).
* I have found a fix for the poor font contrast on Firefox.
Download Stylish (it's an addon), Restart Firefox, Go to your Firefox Addons, Click on the Stylish tab, Create a new theme, Paste this into it:

input, textarea, select {
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
}

(I got it from: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69854)
Then name your new Stylish theme whatever you want (I named mine "Fix Input Fields").
Next, enter about:config into your browser window. Click that you will be careful, and then type "browser.display.use_system_colors" and set it to false.

Good work, and good rationale behind it.
Keep it up!

Thanks. I had just been using the default glow colors with the green and blue values swapped. This is a bit darker and less blue.

I also ended up inverting the value on the view text. I wanted dark text, but I'm not sure how that particular choice worked, especially when I applied it to the selected text.
