I don't know if it helps, but I recently cam across this page which seems to 
nicely explain how it's all done:

https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204644480/enabling-vi-syntax-colors-and-highlighting


In turn then, looking at a linux system in /usr/share/vim/vim*/colors/ may help 
you work out what you need....
