Question: How to change syntax colors?

[Hipomenes]

'm new to Vim and I just installed all vim-pandoc, as well as Solarized, which looks beautiful. However, there's something I yet haven't manage to do. I've been using Solarized for a while in other contexts, and I've developed a color-coded note-taking scheme based on it. I was wondering what would be the most efficient way to choose different Solarized colors for basic Pandoc-flavored Markdown (titles, block-quotes, emphasis, etc.)

Thanks!
