au InsertEnter * hi Normal ctermbg=233
Doing this causes all the colors from my colorscheme (elflord) to go away and change into defaults. What can I do to stop this or work around it somehow?

A:
The code for handling this in CSApprox is:
" colors_name must be unset and reset, or vim will helpfully reload the
" colorscheme when we set the background for the Normal group.
" See the help entries ':hi-normal-cterm' and 'g:colors_name'
if exists("g:colors_name")
let colors_name = g:colors_name
unlet g:colors_name
endif
" Similarly, the global variable "syntax_cmd" must be set to something vim
" doesn't recognize, lest vim helpfully switch all colors back to the
" default whenever the Normal group is changed (in syncolor.vim)...
if exists("g:syntax_cmd")
let syntax_cmd = g:syntax_cmd
endif
let g:syntax_cmd = "PLEASE DON'T CHANGE ANY COLORS!!!"
" ... change normal here ...
if exists("colors_name")
let g:colors_name = colors_name
endif
unlet g:syntax_cmd
if exists("syntax_cmd")
let g:syntax_cmd = syntax_cmd
endif

And that's the way it should be done. The manual didn't mention g:syntax_cmd though. We live, we learn.

This screws up background which changes all my colors

if version >= 700
function EnterPastel()

There are actually a lot more issues involved with colors than just the ones here, if you want to see them all, I rolled the whole lot into a plugin, which is at:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3165
And works with gvim -v, normal vim and gvim in GUI mode.
Here's the current version:
" You can change the colours to ones you like here
let s:pastel_guibg = '#121212'
let s:pastel_ctermbg = 233
" +++ Make it obvious which mode we are in
set laststatus=2 " always show status line
" Makes it VERY obvious if you are in insert mode or not :)

let background = matchstr(background, '\(background=.*\)')
let s:highlight_normal = current
" As pointed out by Dave Kirby, gvim puts font info into there which
" breaks things. This also revealed a lot of other things to me which
" aren't working with gvim, i use it in -v mode and didn't realise so
" I have tried to make it more GUI user friendly.
