What do you mean, bg=w fg=b ? I don't know about them. Try to write out
your colours in full. If you define your match highlight with
ctermbg=7 ctermfg=0 guibg=black guifg=white
as arguments to your :highlight command, you'll get constant colours for
your match. But if the next character happens to use the same colours,
or the same background and a "space" character, the boundary won't be
obvious.

The same applies to
ctermbg=fg ctermfg=bg guibg=fg guifg=bg
with the additional boon that it will set inverse colours to whatever
the Normal group is set to when defining this new colour group (and thus
take into account any colourscheme already set, or the fact that a cterm
may have 'background' set to "light" though a text console will usually
have it set to "dark")

If you use
cterm=reverse gui=reverse

you'll get (IIUC) the inverse-video of whatever is set by the underlying
syntax.


Best regards,
