I know a lot of nice dark schemes for Vim which makes coding more readable and pleasant such as ir_black, wombat, zenburn. Its weird but I haven't seen so many popular light themes (white background).
Does anyone knows a light Vim scheme which makes code more readable and pleasant to see? (that makes code less confusing to distinguish, something like Visual studio's default scheme?)
Check out http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-c.html, it has a HUGE list of colorschemes with previews. If you do not like C samples, there are samples with other programming languages, too: http://code.google.com/p/vimcolorschemetest/
Louver is a bare-bones, light color scheme that somewhat resembles the default Visual Studio look.

VIM was not designed to be easy on your eyes, or fingers. If your preferred coding style isn't squinting in a dark room, hunched over the keyboard, VIM isn't for you.

With all due bias-based disclaimers and caveats (I am the author of the color scheme), I find that Mayan Smoke both highly ergonomic as well as aesthetically pleasing (screenshot). More screenshots available from the download page: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3065.
As alternative, you should also have a look at the immensely popular Pyte, which is eerily similar to Mayan Smoke (development was independent, and the similarity is convergence, I swear!), though the syntax colors are a lot more muted.
I like dark background, but changing software a lot which like IE, VS studio .... So changing from dark to light and back is so uncomfortable, so light background is also my choice, I more prefer the theme name ironman, you can find it on vim plugin page.
