Additional Notes

In the first two lines, change double backslashes to single-backslashes.
I can't post single backslashes from the web interface.
Also keep the cursor the first line, when doing ':so %'.

I believe vim is limited to 224 concurrent colors due to the way it is stored.

Hmm... all colors show in :highlight though.
Couldn't ever get this to work within the file on WinXP, although again, :highlight showed them all.

I simplified the script below, you can try it on 100 colors at a time
to see your choices, since vim seems to have a limit on the
number of simultaneous colors.
Note that the second line has two double backslashes, they might
get deleted in the process the web posting.

Here is how to see all the available xterm color combinations and pick the right one
$ cat xterm256.pl
for($i=0;$i<16;$i++){ # increase the 16 to 256 to see more colors.
for($j=0;$j<16;$j++){ # increase the 16 to 256 to see more colors.
$kw = "col_${i}_${j}";
print "hi $kw ctermfg=$i ctermbg=$j |";
print "syn keyword $kw $kw\n";
}
}
$ perl xterm256.pl > xterm256color-test.vim
$ vim xterm256color-test
: source %
