I have this issue several times, the last thing I attempted was some patched solarized dark theme (that I can't seem to find, sorry for no link) but the problem with that was it made vim background really bright.

This problem was reported in 2011, so I'm guessing I'm just really bad at googling cause I can't find a solution (stumbled upon this about 5 times in the past year), nor an article about it from a recent date.

Does this problem even have a solution, if so, could you walk me through it?

This is a screenshot for those who doesn't know about this issue:

  • The cause is the colors used in solarized and the only long-term solution is to get rid of solarized, which is just as poorly designed today as it was years ago… and still causes the same issues. – romainl Oct 20 '17 at 17:41
  • There's no way to change mocha pallete colors? even if it's hacking into node_modules. I literally just need to see the letters w/o having to redo my whole setup... on 5 different laptops... – Christopher Francisco Oct 20 '17 at 20:32
  • Mocha is not at fault, here, they use perfectly sane colors that work literally everywhere with any competently designed colorscheme. The problem is in solarized and its weird choice of colors. If you need to hack something, it's definitely solarized, not mocha. – romainl Oct 21 '17 at 07:23

I found a quick hack for iTerm2 users, just increment the contrast a little bit.
