Changing vim 'gutter' color

vim

Solution

This "gutter" is called the signs column. (See `:help signs` for more information.) The highlight group associated with this column is called `SignColumn`, and can be set like this (using the example from the help section):

:highlight SignColumn guibg=darkgrey

Problem

See the screenshot of how I have vim configured below. The 'gutter' i.e. where the '+' and '~' symbols appear show my git status using this amazing sublime text port for vim: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter How do I change the color of the gutter where there are no '+'/'~' symbols? I.e. the grey part? This is how you change the number column: VIM initial settings: change backgound color for line number on the left side? but I can't find how to change the 'gutter' color. Any ideas? Many thanks.
