I have noted that I cannot affect MacVim's colorscheme by commands in vimrc. I have now a gray font on black background, which makes reading hard.

That's odd. What do you get after trying ":hi Normal guifg=Yellow" ?

Thank you! Your answer suggested me to replace ctermbf and ctermfg by guibf and guifg, respectively.

I normally put all gvim related commands in .gvimrc. If you are using vi/vim, then the terminal colorscheme messes up with the vim colorscheme. If MacVim has a separate .rc file, you can check that (assuming MacVim pops a new window).

You might want to look at this Mac port of gvim at Google Code. It lives in its own window, rather than in a terminal window, and appears to offer more (or more easy) customization of appearance.
