Recommend a white color theme

Recommend a white color theme

[Tim Johnson]

I prefer to change color themes, based on changes in ambient
lighting and also to alleviate (for me) eye strain.

The black color theme that I prefer is cyberpunk. 

I'd like to solicate recommendations for a white color scheme. 
(I also use 'xemacs and 'zenburn) - but could use something lighter.

thanks

The best white color scheme is in my opinion the default 
one. Regarding light color themes, when I am using a laptop 
outside and it is quite bright, I like to use the solarized theme 
(https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized).

I use my own light theme — alect-light — from 'alect-themes' package
(available on MELPA).

  I thought that was a pretty good candidate. 

  1)Is there a name for the default color theme?

  2)How does one load/reload the default color theme when some
  custom theme has already been loaded?

You have to "M-x disable-theme" before loading a new one.

	I do not believe that 'solarized is the default color theme for
	my version of emacs. After some reseach, I find that on my
	version of emacs, it is 'standard.
 
	(GNU Emacs 24.3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
	bars of 2014-03-07 on lamiak, modified by Debian on the 64-bit
	ubuntu 14.04 custom install for mac)

  of course 
    plus eval: (load-theme 'standard t)

I thought that he meant the default solarized theme, there used to 
be two one light and one dark.

I do not think that the last part is necessary, just disabling 
leaves the default one.
