I agree gui hi can be set in the _vimrc file. However:
However when I enter ":verbose hi Comment" I get:
Comment xxx term=bold ctermfg=1 guifg=Blue
Last set from C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\syntax\syncolor.vim
If the OP had a _gvimrc file it would be sources after the runtime

I only source tweak.vim from .gvimrc and like you it's just a 'tweak' of
the default colors. For some filetypes (ruby for eg) I have a
ruby_cols.vim file in ~/after/ftplugin/ that contains specific hi
commands:
eg
rubyBoolean, rubyComment, rubyDocumentation, rubyData,
rubyStringDelimiter, rubyString, rubyNoInterpolation,
rubyPseudoVariable, rubyInteger, rubyASCIICode, rubyFloat, rubyEscape,
rubyInterpolation, rubyDataDirective, rubyOperator,
which basically means I can go overboard tweaking ruby syntax ;-)
cheers,
