Showing a different background colour in Vim past 80 characters

Question

I have seen Vim 80 column layout concerns, but the answer there highlights only actual content that goes over the 80 character mark. I want to have a 100+ column Vim window

Answer 1

Solution proposed in comment above. Highlight your background first then highlight the ColorColumn black as an overlay. Set your colorcolumn to lines 1-80.

hi Normal guibg=#32322f ctermbg=236
hi NonText guibg=#32322f ctermbg=236
hi ColorColumn guibg=#000000 ctermbg=0
let &colorcolumn=join(range(1,80),",")
