Solution

I had the same problem, but I wanted the Twilight color scheme in my posts.

You can use kramdown and CodeRay instead of rdiscount, which will let you choose the color associated with every code object in your snippets. I wrote a blog post about how to do it:

EDIT:

I found a GitHub theme for coderay here.

Problem

Octopress (Dark) Octopress (Light) Github Octopress default color is not that nice, how to change the color for code block to Github-like?
