There probably is.

I haven't either, except for this gvim setting :
highlight Normal guibg=black guifg=grey90
to make the background black and the foreground lighter like my xterm
already is.

One difference between the environments is a terminal is limited to at
most 8 or possibly 16 colors (I don't remember which). Given that
limitation, some things such as tags and comments in XML files end up
with the same color. Also quoted text in emails is all one color.
Since gvim has more colors available to it, the tags and comments in
XML become different shades of blue (which really is much nicer) and
quoted text in emails is a different color based on the depth of the
quoting (which is neat too).
At any rate, if you prefer something different then you can look
through the manual and see how to choose different colors for
different things.
