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?)

The default Vim color scheme in a light terminal is peachpuff . If you use a dark terminal, the initial color scheme is ron .
You can change color schemes at anytime in vi by typing colorscheme followed by a space and the name of the color scheme. For more color schemes, you can browse this library on the vim website. You can enable or disable colors by simply typing "syntax on" or "syntax off" in vi.
I found the answer here: color scheme's and syntax' files can be found in /usr/share/vim/ .
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). 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.

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/
