Then your system may be confusing "MS-DOS" colours with "X" colours, see ":help highlight-cterm" and in particular ":help cterm-colors". You may still try playing with the $TERM environment variable (before starting Vim) and see if it behaves better. Use something that's not too different from the actual terminal you're using.
