Tek by Christian Rosentreter
A conversion of the colour settings of the 'Unix Shell' bundle provided by older TextMate versions, hence it's maybe less useful for anything else than editing bash scripts. I just liked the colours. Credit has go to Chris Thomas who defined them initialy.

Fluidvision

Starlight
Starlight is a simple, low contrast theme, primarily for Ruby and similar languages. It attempts to provide basic syntax highlighting without introducing a lot of visual noise.
Dominion Day
by Nathan Duran
Dominion Day is another low contrast theme which puts color theory to work for the maintenance coder. Analogous shades coax your eyes into focusing on the parts of your markup which tend to have the greatest visual impact for the end user. Sure, those DIV tags are important, but once typed you rarely need visit them again. Their attributes might be edited slightly more frequently, so they command a bit more attention, with executable code and the text which is actually drawn to the screen being the most visually pronounced elements. Absolutely no bolds, italics or underlines.
Created primarily for use with HTML, CSS and PHP, but JavaScript, Ruby and Python look OK, too. Python could be a lot better, but the current bundle just isn't very comprehensive in its grammar definitions, so there it is.
HTML:
Ruby:
Definitely not for use by people who hate purple or work in brightly lit rooms.
