while this works, this is not the best place to put it, because the
file will be lost when you update MacVim. The recommended way is to
create a folder called ".vim" in your home directory and then create a
folder called "colors" in their. Put your color schemes in that
folder, then they will survive MacVim updates.
Likewise, plugins should be put into ~/.vim/plugin (with their
documentation going into ~/.vim/doc ) , new syntax highlighters into
~/.vim/synax , etc. See `:h 'runtimepath'` for a comprehensive list of
things that can go into your ~/.vim directory. You can't create the
".vim" directory in the Finder (it will complain about the dot), so
you need to create that folder in Terminal.app by writing
mkdir ~/.vim
After that, you can't see that directory in the Finder, but if you hit
⌘⇧G and then enter ~/.vim, Finder will display it. You can then
create the "colors" directory in the Finder, and also move the
colorscheme (if you prefer using the Finder over using Terminal.app).
HTH,

ps(Bjorn): The entry for "Macintosh" is wrong in `:h 'runtimepath'`.
Likewise, the stuff in `:h os_mac` should probably be deleted for the
most part and a reference to `:h macvim` should be inserted.
