There are many color schemes which are usually distributed together with vim. You can select them with the :color command.You can see the available color schemes in vim's colors folder, for example in my case: $ ls /usr/share/vim/vimNN/colors/ # where vimNN is vim version, e.g. vim74blue.vim  darkblue.vim  default.vim  delek.vim  desert.vim  elflord.vim evening.vim  koehler.vim  morning.vim  murphy.vim  pablo.vim  peachpuff.vimREADME.txt  ron.vim  shine.vim  slate.vim  torte.vim  zellner.vimI usually use desert. So I open vim, then enter :color desert and enter. To have the color scheme by default every time you open vim, add :color desert into your ~/.vimrc.(Michael, OP)  This was good.  The terminal looks like:
