I think VIM is trying to use the appropriate command. If there is only one command starting with color
(here colorscheme
), then it can be reduced to a point where it is not more unique. If you tried to use only col
, and this fails because there is another colder
command. The last sentence was mainly an assumption, so see @ZyX's comment for a real reason.
So, color
and colorscheme
match until there is no other command starting with color
.
