Not for 'set'. Jake: You can accomplish this with putting this in your gvimrc: highlight Normal guifg=green guibg=black
You can get information on what color names are available by going to :help macvim-colors But this is probably not what you really want. I recommend going to http://code.google.com/p/vimcolorschemetest/, click on the language of your choice at the bottom, wait for the page to load, find a colorscheme close to what you want, download it and put it in the right place (I believe ~/.vim/colors/<schemename>.vim). You can then tweak it to your liking. This file is just a collection of various 'highlight' commands like above with the labels needed to work with all of the default syntax files.
