I have a Linux box,. I use "Konsole" application. Inside "Konsole" the original colorschemes for Vim always show up right. They are not limited by the color palettes defined by the Konsole. Anytime I change the Konsole colorscheme, the terminal Vim colors are left intact.

However, in iTerm I can never get the exact colors for the schemes. If I change the iTerm theme, the Vim colors get mixed up too.

Is there any way to show up the vim theme in its original colors using iTerm, the absolute colors?

:echo &t_Co

returns 256.

  • I'm confused are you trying to use a gui colorscheme in a terminal version of vim? – FDinoff Jul 18 '13 at 18:12
  • Consider this, I setup github theme in command line vim. Then if I change the iTerm colorscheme, the Vim colorscheme changes with this. When I used "Konsole", changing the theme of Konsole did not affect the command line Vim in any way. – Roald Jul 18 '13 at 18:18

I recently asked a similar question which got migrated to superuser. My problem was that white actually gave me grey.

In my console there was a colour palette and X11 colour names were actually mapped to a position on the palette. Changing the palette changes the colour, the meaning of X11 White is rendered according to palette location 16 in my case.

  • Yes I think we are basically having the same problem. Thanks for your response. I am marking this as answer because I think this is as good as it gets! – Roald Jul 18 '13 at 23:14
