Quick fix:
Add the following lines to  your /usr/lib/elvis/elvis.ini 

  color n white 
  color e green
  color i magenta
  color u blue
  color f red
  set ul=20
  set ruler
  set showmatch
  set showmode
  set autoindent

Gives a somewhat more rudimentary syntax colouring than vim, but works OK for 
my python files.
