Greetings,

Sorry if this is an obvious one but I searched using a variety of
arguments and nothing was too clear.  I also looked at _gvimrc
and changed the line

highlight Normal guibg=white     # from  gray80

which made it much easier to see the selected text.


Now I would like to test some other colors other than the
gray look for the selected text, is it possible?.

I am using mingw compiled version of  vim-7.0223  on winxp


I'm assuming you're on GVim. Go to the Syntax menu on top and select
either

  Syntax > Color test
  Syntax > Highlight test

Those tests will allow you to see a spectrum of colors on text.

The manual way of doing the Color test is

  :sp $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/colortest.vim | so %

The manual way of doing the Highlight test is

  :runtime syntax/hitest.vim

HTH :)
