The standard color themes that come with xcode have never worked for me (sorry Apple!). If you're needing something a bit more VIM or lovely like TextMate try these. I've converted them from themes of the same name for other applications (original credit goes to those authors).
Contains themes:
- 2morrow Night
- 2morrow Night (Eighties)
- 2morrow Night Source Code Pro
- Basic
- Source Code Pro
- Coal Graal
- Coal Graal Source Code Pro
- Glitterbomb
- Glitterbomb Source Code Pro
- Kellys
- Kellys Source Code Pro
- Monokai
- Monokai Source Code Pro
- Night
- Night Source Code Pro
- Resesif
- Resesif Source Code Pro
- Sidewalk Chalk
- Sidewalk Chalk Source Code Pro
- Sunset
- Sunset Source Code Pro

and rename it to
FontAndColorThemes
Select the theme from the prefences menu of Xcode. The font I use is Envy Code R, available [here][http://damieng.com/creative/typography] To use the Source Code Pro subsets download the [Font][https://github.com/adobe/Source-Code-Pro/downloads]
