I'm on Windows and my vim loads with a terrible colorscheme with vim. The message is blue on black (so I can't see what I'm typing). I need to change the colorscheme, but :colorscheme slate
doesn't do anything.

My $HOME\_vimrc
looks like
colorscheme slate
syn on
set shiftwidth=2
set tabstop=2
and my $VIM\vimrc
is the stock vimrc that comes with the Windows Vim distribution.
How do I change my console Vim colorscheme? Especially for Git commits.
Read this thread about 256-colors. As I said before, the work in progress, but solution is possible (in future builds thought).
