(legally blind), I find Solarized dark theme to be one of the most
accessible themes I've used. I have a real problem with 'light' themes and
need themes with a darker background. Unfortunately, I also have problems
with some 'pink' or 'purple' colours, which just appear blurred to me.
The solarised themse are good themes and quite popular and I think they
should definitely be added to the default set of themes included in Emacs.
Whether either of them should be the default theme is another question, but
it would be good to be able to just turn them on if needed.
