As mentioned above I want to adjust the Vim color scheme in the terminal of my macOS Tahoe 26.1 system so that it resembles the color display scheme in Linux.
Also i'm using a MacBook Air M4.

Welcome to Ask Different. What version of vim do you prefer on which Linux distro?bmike– bmike ♦2025-11-17 13:20:06 +00:00Commented Nov 17 at 13:20

Thank you very much for your reply. The Vim version preinstalled with my current macOS Tahoe is 9.1.1752, and its color scheme is black and white. I hope to adjust it to the Vim color scheme used in Red Hat or CentOS.Culver sun– Culver sun2025-11-17 13:43:15 +00:00Commented Nov 17 at 13:43

Some good details there. I was wondering if you could tell us the RH / Cent version of vim and which color scheme you want to match from those OS.bmike– bmike ♦2025-11-17 14:21:04 +00:00Commented Nov 17 at 14:21

If the vim versions are compatible (likely), then you should be able to get the effect you want by copying the .vimrc file from your home directory on a Linux host. You can also set the color scheme for a running session by entering the :colorscheme command followed by the name of the desired color scheme. The built-in schemes are in the directory /usr/share/vim/vim91/colors. You can't modify that directory, but you can add more schemes in ~/.vim/colors. To enable syntax highlighting, add the directive syntax on to the .vimrc file.
See, for example, Color Schemes in Vim: How to Change and Use Them (linuxhandbook.com).
