Is there a way to get a list of all installed color schemes in Vim? That would make very easy to select one without looking at the .vim directory.

Vim color schemes are stored in vim directory named /usr/share/vim/vim80/colors/ but vim80 can be different according to vim version.
The default Vim color scheme in a light terminal is peachpuff . If you use a dark terminal, the initial color scheme is ron .
You can change color schemes at anytime in vi by typing colorscheme followed by a space and the name of the color scheme. For more color schemes, you can browse this library on the vim website. You can enable or disable colors by simply typing "syntax on" or "syntax off" in vi.
Type
:colorscheme then Space followed by TAB.
or as Peter said,
:colorscheme then Space followed by CTRLd
The short version of the command is :colo so you can use it in the two previous commands, instead of using the "long form".
If you want to find and preview more themes, there are various websites like Vim colors
