Change /colors/ & /syntax/ paths or source colors & syntax from shared directory?

All,

Is there a way to use a /colors/ or /syntax/ file out of some directory other than $VIMRUNTIME?

At work, I work on a plethora of Linux servers (as an Oracle DBA) and do not have Linux SA (root) access.  I can "see" the files in $VIMRUNTIME but I cannot edit or add at all.

I'd like to be able to create some custom color.vim and syntax.vim files/schemes for my own use (not using those filenames, of course).

Ideally, what I'd like to do is:

1. Write a custom color scheme.
2. Place it on a common share (common to all the Linux servers) and not have to put it on every, single, server.
3. Be able to use the color scheme:
1. Either include/call/source that color scheme file(s) in my common .vimrc file?
2. Or, at least, be able to manually call that color scheme if/when I need/want it?
4. And, I'd like to be able to do that same sort of thing with syntax file(s)?

Is that possible without getting access to (in our case) /usr/share/vim/vim74/...?

Thanks!!
