There's already a colorscheme named 'default', so naming another 
colorscheme 'default' didn't work as expected, and isn't worth the 
hassle.  Just call it something meaningful.

And don't put it under $VIMRUNTIME... it'll just get overwritten next time 
Vim is upgraded.  Put it in $HOME/.vim/colors/something-useful.vim and 
explicitly add :colors something-useful to your $HOME/.vimrc.

The wisdom is 'maintainability' and avoiding surprises.
