I meant :colorscheme +<TAB> .. not :colorscheme + <ENTER>
But that could very well be the case .. I don't have a bare bones vim
to check.

seems autodetection of the filetype is not working (?)
assuming you use the bash shell, you could try editing ~/.bashrc and
issue a:
:set ft=sh
.. see what happens.
:h filetype
Also check out:
:h :verbose
.. see if this helps.

I definitely recommend this approach.
Make sure you describe the actual symptoms -- rather than a vague "not
working" ..
What kind of file are you editing?
Did you try different types -- C .. Perl .. Python .. bash .. html ..
vim's help files .. etc. ??
The folks on the vim list may also want to know what terminal you are
using (xterm .. rxvt..) .. or is this happening with gvim?
Anyway .. HTH .. and best of luck.
