Vim Save Line Number Coloring

Question

I'm trying to change the default Line Number coloring.

From this thread I found that I can change the line number by issuing something like:

:highlight LineNr guifg=Red

But, how do I save this to my ~/.vimrc?

In my ~/.vimrc, if I added:

highlight LineNr guifg=Red

the new Vim window is still having the yellow line number.

From this gist:

augroup MyColors
    autocmd!
    autocmd ColorScheme default highlight LineNr guifg=red
augroup END
