description
It should be *easy* to tweak the colors,
just tweak the numbers based on this chart:

http://www.calmar.ws/vim/256-xterm-24bit-rgb-color-chart.html
or:
http://www.calmar.ws/vim/terminalcolors.py

also see:
:help hl-<highlight-group>  and
:help highlight-groups

calmar256{light,dark}.vim generates the same color for you gvim, like in your 256 color terminal.

(Note: you may need a proper $TERM variable set, so that termcap/terminfo
knows it's a 256 color terminal. E.g. TERM=xterm-256color in xterm's case. but
especially set t_Co=256 in your .vimrc so vim knows about what you want.)
