I have been customizing my .vimrc file but for some reason, no colorschemes work. Whenever I try to change the colorscheme, it just gives me:
E185: Cannot find color scheme '*'
I checked the color folder to make sure I actually have colors and I do. For example, the first item in the color folder is blue.vim but when I put colorscheme blue in the .vimrc, it just gives:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'blue'
when I start Vim and the colorscheme doesn't apply. I also tried changing the colorscheme from within Vim and it also returns the same error. All the other .vimrc settings that I've tried work so far.
This sounds like a problem with your 'runtimepath' option. If you use a plugin manager, these usually extend that. The default location should be ~/.vim/colors. Please check with
:set runtimepath?
There should be a ~/.vim in there (or equivalent).
If all else fails, you could also just :source /full/path/to/your/color.vim
