Changing label colours fails about vim-sneak HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks, the autocmd handler worked.

I haven't been able to identify the guilty plugin. In case this is of interest to anyone, these are my active plugins:

Plug 'romainl/vim-cool'
Plug 'kana/vim-textobj-user'
Plug 'preservim/vim-textobj-sentence'
Plug 'preservim/vim-markdown'
Plug 'tpope/vim-commentary'
Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'
Plug 'tpope/vim-obsession'
Plug 'tpope/vim-eunuch'
Plug 'unblevable/quick-scope'
Plug 'justinmk/vim-sneak'
Plug 'tpope/vim-repeat'
Plug 'vim-scripts/loremipsum'
Plug 'svermeulen/vim-yoink'
Plug 'lervag/vimtex'
Plug 'osyo-manga/vim-hopping'

from vim-sneak.

I just tried putting those lines both at the beginning and the end of my config, and it works in both cases.

This means some plugin you have is interfering. Or possibly a colorscheme call is loading a theme that does weird things.

You could try putting your customizations in a ColorScheme event handler:

autocmd ColorScheme * highlight Sneak guifg=red guibg=yellow ctermfg=red ctermbg=yellow
autocmd ColorScheme * highlight SneakLabel guifg=red guibg=yellow ctermfg=red ctermbg=yellow
autocmd ColorScheme * highlight SneakScope guifg=red guibg=yellow ctermfg=red ctermbg=yellow
