The omni complete feature in Vim is great especially with SuperTab script#1643. However the hideous choice of color makes it ugly and unreadable. You can use the highlight command to make it look better.

Run the following command or add it to your vimrc:

:highlight Pmenu guibg=brown gui=bold

To see how different color schemes look run something like this (from VimTip634).

:source /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/colortest.vim

References

:help :highlight

Or you could just use a colorscheme that is designed with the completion menu in mind. Like script#1483.
