For nearly 40 years now, I've used the multitudinous *term colours,
which remain in effect in vi/vim, mutt, etc. In that time, I've stuck
with:
-fg yellow -bg darkslategrey -cr red
as it's very restful on the eyes, and a simple way to set the
background colour.
There's 754 colours in my /etc/X11/rgb.txt, but 782 in
/usr/share/vim/vim81/rgb.txt , maybe more in a more current version. And I guess you could add your own, if needed.
But I change the cursor colour in vim, using its limited palette, to
differentiate insert vs normal mode at the cursor, not just the status
line.
"MODE-INDICATING TRICOLOUR CURSOR:
"Appearance: (Insert_Mode = Red, Replace Mode = Purple, Normal_Mode = Green)
if &term =~ "xterm"
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7"
let &t_SR = "\<Esc>]12;purple\x7"
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;green\x7"
endif
Admittedly, it's not tested with every terminal variant out there. Now that xterms support utf8, I've no need for odd ones.
