You might want to try disabling syntax different way as :syntax=off doesn't turn off all the colors. Try using following :set syntax=off or i believe :set syntax= should work as well. This should disable all the colors, including Line number.

For follow up question regarding the colors of line numbers (if anyone want's to disable just that): you can disable the colors of the Line numbers by doing following: :hi LineNr ctermfg=white (really not disabling, just making it white)

You can use :hi to change the colors of mostly anything in VI to make them white or any color, really.

Write this stuff in ~/.vimrc

  • set nohlsearch - disables highlighted search
  • let g:loaded_matchparen=1 - disable brace/paren/bracket matching
