E185: Cannot find color scheme 'MyColor'

Those lines of errors keep yelling about cannot find color scheme. But, nothing is wrong. The colorscheme is exists in /usr/share/vim/vim74/colors directory. I've tried to put it in ~/.vim/colors/, but vim keep complaints about those errors.

The colorscheme loaded just fine. Doing :source to my .vimrc file loaded everything just fine. Everything is fine except those lines of errors keep showing up, when starting vim and when sourcing .vimrc file even though everything works. What is this? And how can I fix this?

INFO: I'm using Arch Linux.

  • Why did you put this to /usr/share/vim/vim74/colors/? That location belongs to Vim; you might lose your customizations on upgrade / reinstall of Vim. Is the script name exactly MyColor.vim (including case)? Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 19:19
  • The filename is lowercase. And the command to activate it too is lowercase. mycolor.vim and colorscheme mycolor Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 19:28
  • But the output complains about MyColor. Seems like the g:colors_name variable inside the script is using inconsistent case. Try renaming either to be consistent, then try again. Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 20:14
  • Do you have syntax onin your .vimrcfile? Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 20:35
  • Fixed. It's because g:colors_name is set to capitalize. Thanks Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 20:38

The given output complains about MyColor, but apparently the script's name is /usr/share/vim/vim74/colors/mycolor.vim. Seems like the g:colors_name variable inside the script is using inconsistent case. This may work on Windows, but Linux filesystems (and Vim's lookups) are sensitive to case. Try renaming either to be consistent, then try again.
