When I do

:colorscheme vilight

it loads the color scheme fine.

So I added

colorscheme vilight

to my .vimrc but its not loading it on start. Am I missing something?

Also in my config

set background=dark 
syntax on
colorscheme vilight 
set lines=60 columns=200

Answer

Are you using gvim? It is possible that your .gvimrc or the system's gvimrc file is overriding the colorscheme selection from your .vimrc.
