Mac OS X vim colors mangled

Here's my setup

  • Mac OS X 10.6
  • VIM (default version that comes with OSX 10.6)
  • rails.vim (installed in .vim/autoload)
  • ir_black.vim (installed in .vim/colors)
  • i have "colorscheme ir_black" and "syn on" in ~/.vimrc

Now when I go into terminal and edit a ruby file with vim my colors are messed up. There are only a few colors showing up and some text is even blinking. I'm wondering if there's a conflict between rails.vim syntax highlighting and the ir_black color scheme? Can anyone help me fix this? I would like to use the ir_black color scheme.

I've been using a nearly identical setup, except for vim, which I grab from Macports. A few years ago I found ir_black and loved it. I now use it for all vim sessions, Terminal.app, and TextMate. Getting it to work with Leopard, and then Snow Leopard was a tad hokey. But things have improved. Follow the instructions here, Making Terminal.app look great in Snow Leopard.
