Is there a way to export and import syntax color schemes in CDT under
eclipse or an external plugin?

I'm afraid there is no other way but to export ALL preferences:

File | Export | General | Preferences | Export All radio button.

There is definitely space for improvement in CDT and in Eclipse in general.

Yes you are right. I think this should be a feature of Eclipse CDT.

I have attempted to manually set the colors but I was confronted with the
complexity of this task: the presence of syntax coloring occurs at least
twice in Eclipse's preference menu: 1) One under editor, and the 2) other
occurs under CDT.

Does anyone have a good "tutorial" (or a guide) to set this up? It's very
frustrating

Also, does anyone have a good coloring scheme to post? The default black
on white is causing my eyes to deteriorate at a fast pace.

I Generally use light colors (yellow, light green, light blue) on a
black background and has alleviated the eye strain I was having with
the defaults.

I did a similar color scheme as you have described above =)

However, I realize that I have to do the exact same thing with my second
computer ... and this just annoys the hell out of me because I have
changed the coloring in quite a few places...

I looked at the folder in plugins/ that contain *cdt*, but I can't
decipher where the settings are saved under. Would you happen to know
where CDT settings/preferences are saved?

Eclipse stores its settings in your workspace in
metadata/plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
One of the files there should contain the syntax coloring.

Go to in Eclipse Menubar to File->Export->General->Preferences
Then on the other PC do File->Import->General->Preferences
