I'm using Vim 8.2 with rust highlighter and YCM plugin for auto-completion and signature help.

Everything works except method signature:

enter image description here

It has same color for both color text and bg in parts like self in (&mut self, other ....

I have already seen this but was not helpful. Can anyone help?

    Depending on what is used, changing the highlight for Popup (or PopupMenu or Sel or whatever it is) might help. You could also take a look at the plugin to see if you can figure out how it does the highlights. (That looks like a fairly default vim colorscheme, and the completion menu does have an ugly pink color in the default…)

    FYI, by default popups use PMenu/PMenuSel for text coloring unless Popup/PopupSelected are defined in which case those are used. (If memory serves me correctly.) The screenshot doesn't appear to be showing the godawful default "magenta", though (unless the hue settings are way out of whack.) :)

    @D.BenKnoble A gift: if execute("hi Pmenu") =~? 'guibg=\a*magenta' | hi Pmenu guibg=black | endif (Works well in a Colorscheme autocmd.) :D

    @BLayer mentioning PMenu was very useful because there are way too many highlight colors, and I didn't know which one to change. Changing guibg didn't help and after search I realized I should change ctermbg which fixed the issue!

    Glad you found a solution. FYI guibg is only relevant in GUI Vim OR terminal Vim when 24-bit color is configured (:h 'termguicolors')

On my setup, Pmenu is responsible for the popup (see BLayer's comment) so:

:hi Pmenu ctermbg=darkgray

or add it to your vimrc, below all other styling rules:

highlight Pmenu ctermbg=darkgray
