Me, too, and I had the same problem.

Don't use the vo colorscheme unless you like it. Colorschemes are
global, you probably like yours already.

What you want to do instead is to set the colors used for vo syntax
elements.

Look in ./vim/syntax/vo_base.vim, and you will see what it sets all the
colors to, for light or dark backgrounds. Don't change them there, but
copy either all the definitions, or the ones you want to change into
.vim/after/syntax/vo_base.vim, and set them to be the colors you want.

Here is mine as an example (my xterm's background colour is gray).

To find good colors, I used colortest.vim, but I rearranged it so that
all the greens were together, for example, so I could compare them.
colortest.vim is in your vim lib, but I attach my rearranged one.
