I have syntax highlighting on, but comments are set to dark blue. This hard for me to read against a black terminal. How do I change it so that the comments are colored green instead?

    Probably you just need to tell vim that you have a dark background:

    :set background=dark
    

    This should change the highlighting to something better readable.
