(If you're using actual console vim as opposed to gvim, this might not be 
relevant.)  My approach was to modify the dark blue colour to one I can see 
properly, this has the advantage of fixing the colour everywhere it is used.  I 
did it by defining a different blue and using that in my colourscheme, but you 
might be able to modify the existing colour - these lines in rgb.txt:

0     0 139             dark blue
0     0 139             DarkBlue

To test you could just modify them manually and restart gvim.  

If you're using Windows such changes can be lost when vim is upgraded.  This 
thread [1] described how I made sure the rgb.txt changes aren't lost.  I think 
(from reading the help files, haven't tried it) that under *nix this isn't a 
problem since the rgb.txt file is part of the general system files.

See :help rgb.txt

Geoff
