Numerous ways.

In a session:

:syntax off

Presumably, you're using files with a file extension that is tripping
the coloring highlights, probably provided by your OS. You can turn them
off globally by adding a syntax command to your .vimrc. (It could be
that you're editing files with embedded hints, or several other things.)
See

http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#syntax

for more details, or start with

:help syntax

within vim.
