Absolutely.  You can change the color scheme in Vim with the
:colorscheme command.  Of course, you need to be in a color terminal.
Make sure your terminal type is color.  A common mistake is to think
that xterm is color.  It isn't, make sure you've got xterm-color if
you're in a color-capable xterm

A good colorscheme works in both GUI and console.  My favorite Vim
colorscheme is manxome, for obvious reasons.

If you always want to use this scheme, put "colorscheme manxome" in your
.vimrc
