Since you're running 9.1, Vim is going to look for colorschemes in /usr/local/share/vim/vim91/colors rather than in /usr/local/share/vim/vim90/colors. That is one reason you should _never_ add files to or modify files in the $VIMRUNTIME directory (e.g., /usr/local/share/vim/vim91). Those files may be overwritten during an upgrade to a newer patch level or may no longer be in the 'runtimepath' when Vim is upgraded to a new release. Any files that you add or modify should be put in your ~/.vim directory, as Christian suggested, or in $VIM/vimfiles if you want to make them available to all users.
