Terminal vim color scheme keeps reverting

I am trying to install the atom-dark-256 colorscheme into my terminal vim. I have the file saved in my .vim/colors directory.

The colorscheme changes as I would like when I am in vim and type :colorscheme atom-dark-256

However if I put the following line into my .vimrc file:

colorscheme atom-dark-256

and save it, it works but as soon as I exit and come back into vim it reverts to the default color scheme.

There are two main possibilities: your vimrc is not being loaded, or something is overwriting your colorscheme setting (perhaps a plugin or an autocmd).

You can check if you vimrc is being loaded using the scriptnames, or by inserting an error in the file and checking that Vim complains about it in the initialization.

You can debug your vimrc by following this answer or the explanation at Vim-FAQ 2.5 - Have I found a bug in Vim?
