I liked the font in the screenshot. Found out from author's dot files that the font is "Envy Code R" (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Envy-Code-R)

Looks pretty good. Shall try it out for a few days. I'm a big fan of pastel shades and most color schemes don't get it right. Solarized with dark background is pretty good but I honestly prefer the light background. Been looking for a decent dark background based color scheme and settled on molokai. Even then I'm not a fan of the fancy highlights no matter how tastefully done. Anderson looks like what I've been looking for. I especially need it since I wake up at 5am to study/work on side projects and work with the lights switched off to avoid waking up the wife/anyone else in the house. Light/Bright backgrounds are a disaster then. So thank you :)

I'm sad to say though that the colors of the wes anderson films reference has flown far over my head :D

I remember liking molokai as well but now I'm using solarized dark at work across terminal, vim, and intellij and php storm which is alright. It took some fiddling to get right though.

Part of the reason I don't use many VIM plugins is because how much it slows down the time from

    $ vim main.c

to actually seeing the UI. But These colors do look pretty.

Look into Neovim if you haven't yet. They did a great deal of performance work.

For some reason the iTerm colors are not working for me. What version of iTerm was used to make these?

It works with the beta version (i.e. 2.9).

it has both 16 and 256 color mode which is nice if you work in gui and terminal mode.

Has anyone ported this to Sublime yet?

sorry for a little offtop, but I want to know how do You deal with really long files (e.g. css) in vim? I used to work with vim, but navigating in long files caused 'jumpy' scroll effect which drives me crazy - any suggestions?

btw. this theme is really nice :)

Not sure if you're referring to performance, but if you are, then...

Two things that work well for me are disabling line highlighting and cursor line.

:set nocursorline

:syntax off

Disabling relative line numbers apparently helps too. (No effect for me though.)
