things like syntax highlighting in vim are configured from within
things like vim itself. it's application task to configure terminal
colors

similar to other unices -- to change color, send appropriate escape
sequence to terminal. cygwin terminal is supposed to be compatible
with vt100.
for example, try this in your cygwin window:
bash$ echo -e "\033[36;44m"
and see what happens.
