MacVim still uses the built-in Vim location when changing themes

I am new to Vim. I have been trying to change theme for MacVim 7.4, when I added the theme file PaperColor.vim to ~/Applications/MacVim7.4/colors and restarted it, nothing changed.

But when I added the theme file PaperColor.vim to ~/.vim/colors, MacVim changed its theme successfully.

Notice that I have aliased command vim to:

~/Applications/MacVim7.4/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim

Is this because I did not change the default path for MacVim? Thank you.

~/.vim/

is the only location where you should put third party scripts.
