The colorschemes are in /usr/share/vim/vim82/colors The problem as I see it is that he wants reverse colors in 'vi' but edited '.vimrc'. Historically those are two different programs but the Debian alternatives eventually points 'vi' to 'vim.basic'. I would presume that a setting that works in historic 'vi' might not be supported by 'vim.basic'. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
