How can I turn off colors in vi (actually vim) permanently?
rpm -e vim-data
Okay, I gotta ask. Cristian's solution earlier created an empty .vimrc
file with "syntax off" in it and it works perfectly. Best of all, it is
a non-destructive solution.
Your solution (which may also work) is to remove a package. Just what
functionality would I have lost if I had gone your route?
You'd lose the colors. In all other respects vim would work perfectly, and
that's how I like it. I really don't appreciate trying to make out dark blue
text on my black xterm, so I always nuke that irritant soon after install.
On a server with many users, I'd naturally lean towards the other solution,
just in case somebody actually wanted those colors.

Thanks. That makes alot of sense. And I agree, those color schemes are
incredibly annoying. Hmm... so far, I've managed to remove colors from
vim and ls. I haven't come across anything else yet that uses color in
terminal. Since we're a kindred "anti-color" spirit, what else have you
come across and what were your solutions then?
For ls, just change the LS_OPTIONS environment variable
in your .bashrc (or whatever resource file is used
by your shell).
