I find syntax highlighting over PuTTY disturbing, it looks like a unicorn has exploded in my terminal. Other than that, I try to use as little colors as possible for the aforementioned reason.
If you don't understand your code without rainbow colors, you probably use the wrong language. :)
The Vim in the OP looks nice.
Syntax highlighting isn't to help me understand the code. I can read/write/understand the code I'm writing with or without the colors, but it certainly slows down my flow when they're gone. If having little or no highlighting works better for you and others then that's definitely what you should do, but there would be zero benefit for me to code like that all the time.
You can change it in PuTTY going into Connection -> Data and changing Terminal-type string to xterm-256colors, xterm by default uses 8 colors. I use morhetz/gruvbox colorscheme in vim, it looks nice.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
