The first time I checked the output of the command above for ErrorMsg, it showed me the very light colors I had been seeing thus far. I then moved cterm=none before ctermbg and ctermfg. This displayed the proper colors in the "xxx" area, but now the error window expands, but all the text is either not rendering or the same shade of black as my terminal background. All I can see is my cursor floating off to the right as if it were at the end of a line of text.
Which error window is this? Are you sure that Error and ErrorMsg highlights are being used in it? Are you still referring to errors displayed at startup, i.e. while loading your .vimrc? It wouldn't surprise me much if colours aren't fully/properly set up at that stage. Do you get the right colours if you just use :echoerr or type an invalid command or something?
