Both colorschemes only support terminal emulators capable of displaying 256 colors and GUI Vim. Since the Windows console only supports 16 colors they simply can't work.

You have two options:

  1. use GVim or a better terminal emulator if you absolutely want to use any of those colorschemes,
  2. find a colorscheme that works with the Windows console.
