How do I change the color of the tab stops in Vim? Everytime I hit tab

off?
With 'list' off, hard tabs should be coloured the same as whitespace,
unless they have a "special" meaning in the filetype in question, e.g.
as column separators in a tab-separated database or at the left margin
in a Makefile. The following command may help you determine which
highlight group(s) apply at the cursor location:
if has("user_commands")
command -nargs=0 -bar WhatSyntax
\ echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
\ synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),0)),"name")
\ synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
\ synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
endif
With 'list' on, the ^I representing a hard tab if "tab:" is not included
in 'listchars', or the two characters specified after that colon (and
alternating at a frequency of 'tabstop' with one of the one and between
zero and (&tabstop - 1) of the other) if it is, are highlighted with the
SpecialKey highlight. How that highlight is displayed depends on your
colorscheme (if any). By default it uses blue foreground against the
default background.
See
:help 'list'
:help 'listchars'
Best regards,
Tony.
