Check out hicolors --

http://www.drchip.org/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.

Also, I suggest looking into using hilinks.vim:

http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#HILINKS

This plugin provides a syntax stack trace and a highlighting stack trace
as you move your cursor about. In other words, as you move your cursor
about, hilinks will identify which syntax highlighting group is
responsible for what you see.

C Campbell
