This color scheme consists of a light and a dark scheme. These color schemes contains all possible settings for Vim, including a short description from the Vim help pages. Not all settings are in use. The unused ones are commented out.

You can add more specific syntax highlighting for your favorite programming language. To achieve this read the syntax file for your programming language and add your desired changes to the color scheme file.

These color scheme files has several sections. The first sections consist of the settings, the general interface coloring and the general syntax highlighting. There is also a section for coloring settings of some plug-ins. If you want some more specific syntax highlighting and still want to have an organized color scheme file then add a section for your individual syntax highlighting of your programming language and add your desired modifications.
