Hello, Peng:

Syntax rules pick highlighting rules, which in turn are highlighted by
colorscheme rules.

:help syntax
:help colorscheme

If you'd like to see what in particular is happening in some file, you
may find

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

to be of interest; in particular, try :HLT! with hilinks.vim. This
command will show you the syntax stack, the highlighting trace, and the
resulting foreground/background color names as you move the cursor about.

Regards,
Chip Campbell
