I'm trying to load a default colorscheme torte by placing colorscheme torte on my ~/.vimrc.local (I'm using vIm SPF13 by the way if it means anything.)

Anyways, whenever I open vim, I end up seeing this. Torte

But when I execute colorscheme torte from the command mode, I getenter image description here

Anyone knows how to get the second image consistent? Thanks. :)

    Drop spf13: it adds complexity where there is none while preventing you from learning vim and keeping control of *your* config. – romainl Jun 22 '14 at 07:49
  • I've been using vim for quite some time and just decided to use it so I'll see how other people use it too. :) But yeah, I removed spf13 and the color scheme is just like the second image. – jaggy Jun 22 '14 at 08:18

My guess is that 'background' is changed at some point or another of the startup process which would explain the difference in looks. You can test it with:

:set background=light
:set background=dark

But the arbitrary and unneeded complexity introduced by your distribution makes it hard to guess where it's done or not.

I'm assuming that you're deliberately not adding color scheme to your .vimrc file.

If that is true, simply add this to your .vimrc file 

if filereadable(glob("~/.vimrc.local")
    source ~/.vimrc.local
endif

Otherwise simply add it to your. vimrc file itself.
