For vile in the terminal, colours are set with escape codes. Historically most terminals supported a limited number (if any) of colors, typically 8 or 16. Terminal emulators such as xterm allow Xresources to be used to set the values of these colours (see the color0-color15 resources in the xterm manual page). In vile, the command "show-colors" will show what those 16 colours look like. See also: :show-help /^Color basics --bod
