I use vim via the console.I have the following line in my vimrc:highlight LineNr ctermfg=5 It doesn't do anything, but when I type this in as a command, it correctly changes the line numbers' colors::highlight LineNr ctermfg=5:verbose highlight LineNr gives:LineNr xxx term=underline ctermfg=11 guifg=Yellow Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim74/colors/elflord.vim I've been looking all over for some clue about something I'm missing, but I can't see what it is.I've also tried using highlight with various other things, like CursorLine, and I can't get it to work with those either.  This is the verbose output for LineNr:Its odd that the colorscheme is the only thing changing the color-I added the highlight line after the colorscheme in the vimrc.
Why is vim not obeying the LineNr highlighting in my vimrc?
vimrc;highlight
