In what way does Vim colourise the buffers? Do you just mean normal
keyword/font/color associations? Emacs already does this in Emacs 22 and
later where font-lock-mode is turned on by default I think.

e.g see

http://richardriley.net/projects/emacs/dotemacs

For fancier stuff see:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme

(It's a bit confusing that page imo, but the main point is to download the 
latest
color-theme tar, add it to your lisp load path and then install a color
theme)

I actually started to use a vim favorite recently and so my .emacs
contains

(require 'zenburn)
(color-theme-zenburn)

Google will locate the zenburn.el file.

But for your googling efforts, "color-theme emacs" are the key words.
