Summary
Cake16 is a light color scheme for vim with mild contrast and not so many colors. It has a very pleasant yellowish tone and is great for prolonged coding.
It supports both gvim and 16-color terminals. Terminal support is done by mapping colors in terminal emulator settings, like solarized.

256-color approximation
Alternatively, if you don't want to map terminal colors, you can approximate cake16 using 256 terminal colors. Simply install CSApprox using your package manager, it will calculate and set colors automatically:
