I'm just going to say the same.

But other answers in the thread are also true.

Also, I can easily imagine som kind of scenario in which people could
find useful to have more than one color scheme, for example, for
different file types:

It is not my case, at leas with vim, but for shell sometimes I change
the color scheme of a given console (konsole in my case) to easily
distinguish from (to many) others spread on my virtual desktops.

For example to avoid closing some important process which must not be
interrupted.

In the case of vim, for example, you could want to emphatize some file
which is periodically accessed by running process which is doing
something and want to avoid writting broken/uncomplete version by
mistake.

Regards.
