so i am using vim with the molokai colorscheme but today i decided to change the comments color but i dont know how to that i want to make it #0000FF / blue i tried editing the molokai.vim file but it did not work (i am using c++). and i only want to change the comments colors because the rest of it is great.

this is the molokai.vim file without my edits.
You would have to add a line similar to the following in your vimrc. This line would make the comments appear as a deep blue colour.
hi Comment ctermfg=31 guifg=#0087af
Replace the values for ctermfg and guifg with whatever colour you would prefer. Use this site for reference if you are not familiar with how the codes represent colours.
However if you would like to change it from within the library, change the line that is line number 34 to represent whatever colour you like

This is a sample of the colouring which is provided by the "darkbone.vim" colour scheme (updated):
On the "TMP=" line, the "${ }" delimiters are different from the "TMP" variable name. That is something I want to replicate in another colour scheme file.
However, I am unable to identify the Class which controls the delimiters separately from the variable itself (which I have identified as "PreProc").
Comparing different files, I found that "Delimiter" was not included in darkbone.vim, so I added that, specifying guifg=#FF0000 , but there was no identifiable change to my fullscreen display of the test file, where both the delimiters and the "called" variable name have the same colour.
Anyone have insights into how to control that for the delimiters ?
The 'scriptnames' report is as follows:

Syntax highlighting is done in two steps:
highlight groups are defined with regular expressions in a "syntax script" and often linked to more generic ones,
visual attributes are assigned to highlight groups in a colorscheme.
The most immediate consequence of this is that the colorscheme can't highlight non-existing highlight groups.
Which leads to our next problem: as per the default syntax script for the sh filetype…
${ belongs to the shDeref and PreProc groups,
TMP belongs to shDeref and shDerefVar,
} belongs to PreProc,
they all resolve to the PreProc highlight group.
meaning that your colorscheme in its current form and the default syntax script for sh make it impossible to highlight ${} and TMP differently.
Here is how the two first lines of your script look with darkbone.vim and the default syntax script for sh:
And here is your screenshot:
You will notice that there are quite a few discrepancies.
So, if your colorscheme and the default syntax script both consider ${TMP} as a single "block" belonging to the PreProc highlight group, then you might be using a third-party syntax script that thinks otherwise.
Furthermore, the only highlight group highlighted in orange in your colorscheme is Function so there is definitely something, somewhere, that overrides the default highlight groups in one way or another.
FWIW, you can use the following command to identify the highlight group(s) of the item under your cursor:
command! SynStack echo map(synstack(line('.'), col('.')), 'synIDattr(v:val, "name")')
I'm created a custom file format, .cheat, for my cheat sheets, and in that format only I am highlighting alternating rows to make it easy to see which keystroke combo triggers each command. Why is the formatting in my ftplugin applying to all files in every format?

Your ftdetect/cheat.vim should only contain the following :
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cheat set filetype=cheat
While the remaining configurations you should place in a ftplugin/cheat.vim :

In vim can you call a theme for example, 'colo:desert' and colorize certain syntax which are not colorized like lets say i wanted to colorize the words "Access Validation" and "Panel" to green will Vim let met do that?
Below is my desert theme which i use to colorize my syntax

You can add arbitrary syntax highlighting. In my .vimrc, I have one to mark trailing whitespace in red:
highlight ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=1 guibg=red
match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+$/
In your case, you could do:
highlight StackOverflow ctermfg=DarkGreen
match StackOverflow /Panel\|Access Validation/
Then you just have to set up autocmds that runs the match command for BufWinEnter, BufWinLeave, InsertEnter, and InsertLeave:
autocmd BufWinEnter * match StackOverflow /Panel\|Access Validation/
autocmd BufWinLeave * match StackOverflow /Panel\|Access Validation/
autocmd InsertEnter * match StackOverflow /Panel\|Access Validation/
autocmd InsertLeave * match StackOverflow /Panel\|Access Validation/
You can of course do it more fine-grained, if you just want it to apply to specific kinds of files.
After browsing tens of color schemes, I couldn't really find anything much better than the "default" vim color scheme.
I would like to twist it a little bit, but couldn't find the scheme file, does such file exist? or is there a way I can save current scheme into a file and edit it?
$VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim
won't help you much as it doesn't define a single color. The actual default colors are defined with a "special" syntax in:
$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syncolor.vim
Here is the gist of it:
if &background == "dark"
SynColor Comment term=bold cterm=NONE ctermfg=Cyan ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=#80a0ff guibg=NONE
SynColor Constant term=underline cterm=NONE ctermfg=Magenta ctermbg=NONE gui=NONE guifg=#ffa0a0 guibg=NONE

This may be system dependent, but to see the name of the current colorscheme just use
:colorscheme
If it is default, you can find it via locate default.vim or find / -name default.vim.
For me it's in
/usr/share/vim/vim73/colors/default.vim
This is what is in my default.vim file
" Vim color file
" Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <Bram#vim.org>
" Last Change: 2001 Jul 23
" This is the default color scheme. It doesn't define the Normal
" highlighting, it uses whatever the colors used to be.
" Set 'background' back to the default. The value can't always be estimated
" and is then guessed.
hi clear Normal
set bg&
" Remove all existing highlighting and set the defaults.
hi clear
" Load the syntax highlighting defaults, if it's enabled.
if exists("syntax_on")
syntax reset
endif
let colors_name = "default"
" vim: sw=2
As you can see there are no colors defined. However you can take a look at the other color schemes in the same folder as default.vim to get an idea of how to define colors, you can then either add them to the default.vim or create your own colorscheme.

I just installed FuzzyFinder for gvim, though for some reason it's using an ultra hot-pink background color that's burning my eyes, using my favorite desert colorscheme.
I've looked through desert.vim but I can't find any line which is defining this color (0xFF00FF) (desert.vim appended at end of post).
Can anyone say where this color is coming from so I can change it to something different? Perhaps it is one of the "cterm" colors? How can I find out where those cterm colors are defined from?
