Answer 1

Ingo's answer is smarter but these autocommands

autocmd BufEnter *     colorscheme default
autocmd BufEnter *.php colorscheme desert
autocmd BufEnter *.py  colorscheme darkblue

Answer 2

It does not make sense to combine WinEnter and FileType events in the same autocmd rule; the first matches against the buffer's filename while the latter matches against the buffer's filetype.

Instead, use a single autocmd triggered whenever a buffer is entered / displayed in a window, and choose the colorschmeme with a conditional on the &filetype.

:autocmd BufEnter,FileType *
\   if &ft ==# 'c' || &ft ==# 'cpp' | colorscheme darkblue |
\   elseif &ft ==? 'r' | colorscheme desert |
\   else | colorscheme default |
\   endif
