You definitely don't want to change C source code. Vim's colors are specified in color scheme files, which are in vimscript, not in C.

It sounds like you don't understand vim color schemes; my apologies if you do. What color schemes are you using in color terminal mode and gvim? I suggest you have a look at the files in $VIMRUNTIME/colors, particularly the README.txt there.

If you are using the same colorscheme in both modes, and the colors don't match, the mapping from XTerm 16, 88 and 256 color modes to RGB can be determined, so you could edit a colorscheme so that they match.
