Setting the vim color theme for highlighted braces

How do you change the vim color scheme for highlighted braces? I'm looking to actually edit the .vim theme file to make the change permanent.

Regards, Craig

After reading the FAQ, I can answer my own question. :)

24.9. Is there a built-in function to syntax-highlight the corresponding matching bracket?

No. Vim doesn't support syntax-highlighting matching brackets. You can try using the plugin developed by Charles Campbell:

http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/tip.php?tip_id=177

You can jump to a matching bracket using the '%' key. You can set the 'showmatch' option to temporarily jump to a matching bracket when in insert mode.

The automatic highlight colour for matching brackets is called MatchParen. You can change the colour in your .vimrc by doing eg:

highlight MatchParen cterm=bold ctermfg=cyan
