I also find that my perception of windows colors and resulting eye-strain
is very dependent on ambient lighting conditions, and the tasks I'm
working on -- spend a day writing documents with small text and my
eyes will be tired no matter what.  [One can always make the text larger
temporarily, however.]  Also, I adjust my overhead lighting and the shades
on my windows as the day goes on so that my ambient lighting is neither bright
nor dark, but rather just slightly subdued.

Here's the best color combo I could find for myself:

desktop			dark grey
application workspace	off-white
window background	white
window text		black
menu bar		light grey
menu text		black
active title bar	dark grey-green
inactive title bar	light grey
title bar text		black
active border		light green
inactive border		light grey
window frame		black
scroll bars		dark grey-green

Boring, but I find it easy on _my_ eyes.
