Gray text on a black background, 10pt courier, but I have triggers set up to color things for flavor (i.e. the echos of sand blowing is in a sandy color, the bleeding sdesc modifiers are red, stuff like that).

Black background with green text.  I don't remember if I set it that way or if that's the default.

This thread has influenced me to change it up a bit.  I now play with a greyish-green background and sand-colored text, 10pt Monaco.  Grey-green for the Northlands, sand for the Southlands, basically a good representation of both sides, I think.  Nice and all-purpose and Armageddon-y.

White text on a black background.. Arial 10pt

I've also got around fifty triggers that color important events - disarms, bashes, spell echoes, psionic effects, combat events, etc etc.

Zmud classic, black background, dark green text. Courier 10pt because thats the font I saw when I -very- first started playing and I'm still trying to reach for the fun I had back then.

I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

grey on black. but I have some coloring trigs:

words important to my character, depending on importance
the line with the exits on it, in yellow
any line starting with 'the' or 'a', in dark cyan
my sdesc and name are pink, with musical beep if inactive (I sometimes might do something else if I get bored, so when somebody says my name, I notice)
the words 'you' and 'your', are pink
previous character names, come out white, so I can feel a little special, without it jarring me from staying IC.
"You are very hungry" is orange
"You are famished" is red
"You are starving." is red, italicized, and underlined with a musical beep, active or not.
and finally... all numbers are made light cyan, for those shopping trips.

10pt fixed sys, black background, light grey text

I make the room title bold and have a colored prompt so each "room" is framed. Makes all the difference in the world helping my eye follow the action.

Wheat, silver, and light pink on black.

And the Nonman King cried words that sting:
"Now to me you must confess,
For death above you hovers!"
And the Emissary answered ever wary:
"We are the race of flesh,
We are the race of lovers."
