如何在 vim 中更改字符串 colors

Question

I installed a solarised dark theme in my iterm2 zsh and everything looks fine. But when I open vim, for some reason, the contrast on the strings aren't really good and it's really hard to read strings.

I tried setting set background=dark but nothing worked. Here's a screenshot of how it looks like

How do I change the dark blue color of the string so that it's more readable?

BTW, I checked out highlights in vim and for Strings, I got this xxx term=underline ctermfg=13 guifg=#ffa0a0 , but #ffa0a0 is the color of light red which I could work with.

I could be wrong since I am not using solarized myself but the colors all seem off so you might want to have a look at Incorrect colors with vim in iTerm2 using Solarized

Here you can find a great explanation on how overrinding works in vim

That said, your override may have failed because you did not have the correct highlight-group. You could try (see:help highlight)

    :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim

this should show you the currently active highlight-groups and the links between them. There you might find the hightlight-group that has the dark blue color you mentioned. If so you can change it (or the dependent hightlight-group for a specific FileType).

:hi <hightlight-group-name> ctermfg=<color> guifg=<color>
