Check out hicolors --

http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#HICOLORS
(cutting edge)
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1081 (stable)

It gives help for highlighting colors by showing the name of the
highlight in
its currently selected color. Left-clicking on that color name will
bring you
to the help for it, and right-clicking on it will bring up a color editor.

You may use hilinks --

http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#HILINKS

and, with the cursor atop a #define ..., you'll see something like:

SynStack: cInclude
HltTrace: cInclude->Include->PreProc fg<white>
bg<blue3>

on the bottom of the display (your fg/bg colors are liable to differ).
The HltTrace shows you several highlighting names;
if you change any of those you can override the colorization of the
#include/#define/etc.

Read

:he colors
:he highlight

for more information on this.

If you want to do a pinpoint change for C files only, then you might
want to do something like making a file (or appending to an already
existing one)
$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/c.vim

and putting a line such as

hi PreProc cterm=NONE gui=NONE ctermfg=cyan ctermbg=blue guifg=cyan
guibg=blue

in there; change the colors to suit.
