It sounds like you don't want a library, but an interface to use
vim in a way that allows access to the colors.

Because if you can run vim and see the output, then you already have
all the libraries you need. Display of colors in vim will be gated
(at least for standard compiles) not by terminal libraries installed,
but by terminal definition.

What does $TERM contain on the local side of your ssh connnection?
What does $TERM contain on the Pi side of your ssh connection?
That's probably where you should look first. Second is seeing if
you have compatible terminal definitions on either side.
