I use _vimrc to configure my vim 7.2 (windows) default settings. One setting "set number" will display line numbers on the left side. My vim background color is white (I cannot find setting for this. Maybe the default is white. Anyway I accept this setting).
I would like the background color for line numbers to be Grey or dimmed color. What is the command I can put in my _vimrc to configure this default setting?

How do I highlight line numbers in vim? Simply putting :set cursorline in your vimrc will highlight the current line in every window and update the highlight as the cursor moves. With the default backslash leader key, typing \c will toggle highlighting on and off.
The ctermfg=white is used to set the foreground color to white in a terminal text editor. Finally, the ctermbg=black is used to set the background color to black in a terminal text editor.
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.
In Vim, if your color scheme supports both a light and dark mode, you switch between by using the command: set background=dark or set background=light .
