This depends on the color scheme you are using. If the maintainer
does not update his color scheme, a default value is chosen. If the
background is darkcyan, the highlight is not visible, of course,
if the background is blue, then your value is a bad choice.


I don't think any single colorscheme defines MatchParen.
I haven't seen any single colorscheme that define MatchParen.
Do they ?

colors/astronaut.vim (v8) does.  Available at

 http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs
 as "DrChip's Astronaut Colorscheme")
