How to change the folded part color on Vim

Question

I fold some of the functions on my C code. When I fold them, the color becomes gray. Is there any way to change the color of folded part to another color?

Answer 1

You can use the :highlight setting. For instance, to set the background to red, add this to your .vimrc:

highlight Folded ctermbg=red

You can view a list of supported colour names by running :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/colortest.vim. ctermbg updates the console background; ctermfg updates the console foreground; and guibg & guifg update gvim's background and foreground colours. If you're changing gvim's settings, you can use whatever hex code you like (you don't have to restrict yourself to supported colours).

Answer 2

Type :verbose hi it will describe you all the highlighting groups and where they are defined. There is probably one describing the Fold but I don't know the group name by heart.
