I have a problem with dark-blue color in vim or ls output. Because I'm using black background color, words colored in dark-blue are almost completely invisible. How can I address this problem?

I am not colorblind so I don't really know what works and what doesn't. I use the desert color scheme which works great for me, but your best guess would be to go to http://code.google.com/p/vimcolorschemetest/ and just check them all out.
There are many color schemes which are usually distributed together with vim. You can select them with the :color command.
You can see the available color schemes in vim's colors folder, for example in my case:
$ ls /usr/share/vim/vimNN/colors/ # where vimNN is vim version, e.g. vim74
blue.vim darkblue.vim default.vim delek.vim desert.vim elflord.vim
evening.vim koehler.vim morning.vim murphy.vim pablo.vim peachpuff.vim
README.txt ron.vim shine.vim slate.vim torte.vim zellner.vim
I usually use desert. So I open vim, then enter :color desert and enter. To have the color scheme by default every time you open vim, add :color desert into your ~/.vimrc.
