Answer 1

@GWW is right. But the example above only works for gvim, not vim. You'd better configure in .vimrc as in the same documentation to make it work in xterm, for example:

if &term =~ "xterm\\|rxvt"
  " use an orange cursor in insert mode
  let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;orange\x7"
  " use a red cursor otherwise
  let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7"
  silent !echo -ne "\033]12;red\007"
  " reset cursor when vim exits
  autocmd VimLeave * silent !echo -ne "\033]112\007"
  " use \003]12;gray\007 for gnome-terminal
endif

There is quite a lot of information about how to set the insert mode cursor color in the vim documentation

Here is an example from the linked documentation:

highlight Cursor guifg=white guibg=black
highlight iCursor guifg=white guibg=steelblue
set guicursor=n-v-c:block-Cursor
set guicursor+=i:ver100-iCursor
set guicursor+=n-v-c:blinkon0
set guicursor+=i:blinkwait10

EDIT:

The i means insert mode, v visual, c command, and n normal
