I use the following approach to customize a colorscheme. Create a new, empty file in "~/.vim/colors/" and add something like the following (here a "zellner_mod.vim" modifying the zellner colorscheme): runtime colors/zellner.vim let g:colors_name = "zellner_mod" hi LineNr guibg=grey hi NonText guibg=grey guifg=darkgreen hi StatusLine guibg=grey48 Then use :colorscheme zellner_mod to load it.
