gvim color scheme in vim

Dear friends,
I am using slate color scheme in gvim(vim-X11 package in fedora).
The problem is this color scheme (and many other) is not obeyed by vim. So, while slate is dark, vim is still showing white background and comments on yellow (neither is a slate scheme).
Even more basic packages like blue are rendering color differently.
In my $VIMRUNTIME, I do have those packages installed.
So, what is the way to use same color scheme both in vim and gvim?
NB: I can see vim's color changed if I use, say, :colo slate in vim terminal; only that the color is different from what is seen in gvim.
