Vim colorscheme search path?


Hi all,

I've tried looking for clues as to where VIM looks for its color schemes and how to override it. On Debian I have the stock schemes at /usr/share/vim/vim70/colors and a bunch of schemes in my ~/.vim/colors directory, and would prefer if Vim read the schemes from my home directory.

Apparently inserting "source ~/.vim/colors/bright.vim" into .vimrc only gives me

Code:
Error detected while processing /home/user/.vimrc:
line   19:
E484: Cannot open /home/user/.vim/bright
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Doesn't matter if I change the tilde to point an absolute path, nor if I rename "bright.vim" to "bright".

Also, /etc/vimrc doesn't say anything. Is this just unconfigurable and I need to dump everything to /usr/share or what?

Any ideas?
