You could try defining your own colour in rgb.txt (:help rgb.txt), for example, I use this: 0 96 255 BobBlue Then in my colour scheme definition I use it in the normal way like this: hi SpecialKey guifg=BobBlue ctermbg=DarkBlue ctermfg=White However, there are two problems with this approach, perhaps others can help or provide a better solution? 1) rgb.txt apparently has to be in $VIMRUNTIME and not vimfiles\, so can get lost when you upgrade. I couldn't find a better place to define the colour. (The help suggests defining its location using rgb_file for FVWM configuration files (:helpgrep rgb_file). I haven't looked into it in great detail.) 2) As you can see some colours don't work in some terminals, my colour doesn't work in XP cmd.exe terminal vim. I suppose ymmv depending on which terminal you're using, and whether it can handle your particular colour. regards, Geoff Thomson Financial Limited, a Thomson Reuters company, is a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (registered number 2012235) having its registered office and address for service at Aldgate House, 33 Aldgate High Street, London, EC3N 1DL, UK.
