I am using newly-installed vim 8.0.  My _gvimrc is quite simple but does 
include various syntax-element color definitions, such as:

hi Constant guifg=DarkRed

But these definitions are being over-ridden by something somewhere in the maze 
of startup files, such that other colors are being applied.

I do not explicitly invoke anything related to syntax highlighting in either 
_vimrc or _gvimrc.  I have installed no plugins beyond whatever comes in the 
Vim installation itself.

Why is it that a user's choice of colors would be over-ridden by some file 
somewhere, one which is presumably meant to *augment* the user's choices, not 
replace them?  And how does one overcome this puzzling behavior?

Thank you for your time.
