E185: Cannot find color scheme*
color-scheme, vim
Solution
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`
Problem
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.
