~/.vim/colors is indeed the correct place for colorschemes you
want to add to your installation
you might want to check that what you type for
<new_color_scheme> is the same as what's defined inside the
colorscheme module on a line that says
let g:colors_name = <new_color_scheme>
the rule, i think, is that the name of the colorscheme module
should be the same as the defined g:colors_name with the
addition of the .vim suffix
about the only other thing that might be breaking this for you
is that vim may have a different opinion of what $HOME is
than you do -- to check that, enter
:echo $HOME
