This is in .vimrc:

if exists("+colorcolumn")
set colorcolumn=+1 " textwidth+n
"? set colorcolumn=64,72,80 " specific columns
hi ColorColumn NONE ctermbg=Cyan
endif

This is in .gvimrc:

hi ColorColumn NONE guibg=Cyan

:help 'colorcolumn'

Some options to try:

:hi! link ColorColumn StatusLine

:hi! link ColorColumn CursorLine
