":help colors" didn't help? That points you to
$VIMRUNTIME/colors/README.txt
which contains "Hints for writing a color scheme file".
If you're having trouble finding the right topic using :help, you
can type a string that you think is likely to be contained in the
topic, then type Ctrl-D. That will give you a list of all topics
containing that string in the topic key. If that doesn't do it, try
:helpgrep followed by a pattern you think might be in the text of
the topic. In this case, ":help \<colors\>" returns 274 hits, which
is a bit much, but ":help colorscheme" returns a more manageable 24.
:help toc
will give you the User Manual table of contents. You can search
that for "color", which will get you to
:help 06.3
which also includes instructions for writing your own color scheme.
After reading those, you can browse through $VIMRUNTIME/colors to
see what others have done.
