In vim you can customize the colors of your terminal vim or the GUI version. If you wanted to play around with colors then you can simply put the file containing the colorscheme to directory ”~/.vim/colors” and load it in vim with ”colorscheme ”.

That most of you would know. What I will add here is how easy it can be create it if you knew the right place to do it: Head over<a href="http://yukihiro.nakadaira.googlepages.com/vim-color.html" target="_blank"> here. No explanations needed. Anyway if you need help, leave a comment.

Update : You can see around all the vim color schemes available at vim.org here:
