* First, identify the color. I have a plugin, hilinks.vim, which you
can use :HLT! and then, as you move the cursor about, the syntax and
highlighting groups involved show upon the bottom of the display. You
can get it from http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#HILINKS .

* Second, change the color. You can put overrides into
$HOME/.vim/after/colors/TheColorschemeNameHere.vim .

* Third, you could use hicolors, available at
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#HICOLORS, to both create
your own modified colorscheme and to check on what your colorscheme is
setting your highlighting groups to.
+ to check on your colorscheme with hicolor: :help hicolors
+ to then edit your colorscheme, creating your own: click with the
rightmouse button on whatever highlighting group you wish to change.
When done, click on the [WriteColorscheme] button on the colorscheme
editor window. You'll be prompted for a new colorscheme name to use.
