Just noticed I never posted a follow-up to this after adding the requested support for background color to the Txtfmt plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2208 As of version 2.0, Txtfmt lets you alter not only a text region's foreground color and format attributes (bold, italic, underline, etc...), but also its background color (as requested by the original poster). Actually, the subject line specifies the ability to change the background color of the "selected text". Visual maps and menu commands for altering the highlighting of the visual selection are the focus of current development...
