I added a color theme expected to be, in which the background color is lighter than black.:
But my my color theme looks complete dark. Whats wrong with it?
Did you check your profile settings of your terminal app? Looks like you are running the standard mac terminal. Adding color to the terminal

I trying to setup the solarized color scheme for Emacs running in terminal mode. I use
https://github.com/bbatsov/solarized-emacs.git 's solarized-dark theme. However while this works for desktop windows the colors are modified when running in terminal mode emacs -nw:
The color is a dark blue while the standard background for solarized dark
is dark and geenish:
The standard background color #002b36 is defined here. I tried to change it but there seem to be an interpolation layer inside Emacs that changes it to blue unless I change it to something more different like black.
Does anyone know howto configure Emacs to support more color shades?
I'm running inside Kconsole but can see the same behaviour in gnome-terminal.
By default terminal works in 16 colors mode. You have to set environment variable TERM:
export TERM=xterm-256color
I'm using zsh, so I put this line in my ~/.zshrc file.
https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized handles solarized dark theme colors in terminal mode.
I really like the solarized and use it as the color scheme of my iTerm and Vim.
But recentlly, I start using Node.js. The problem has been bothering me for weeks.
The color of the result of mocha and pm2 seems the same the background of dark cheme,
I do not want to change to other color scheme.
So what should I do?
Thanks!!
Finally the setting of Contrast of iTerms fixed it for me.
This patch from iTerm2 Color Schemes leaves the rest of the Solarized Dark theme unchanged while patching the unfortunate issue with the background being set to bright-black.
If someone have the same problem, please use this patch for solarized.
I'm using terminal vim with the solarized-light theme for both vim and my terminal. If I try and use for example a dark colour scheme for my terminal a dark border appears around my vim window as shown in the image below.
Is there a setting I can change to remove this border, or reduce its width to 0?
You can't do that from Vim and your terminal emulator doesn't expose an option for that either.
So… use the same background color.
Nothing to do with vim it's a terminal background. There's no simple solution. Use the same background color or change a font. Some fonts with certain sizes ideally fit into terminal width and height. Bitstream font works for me.
when i running Terminal-VIM in fullscreen-mode with a Colorscheme there are still a small border from the standard terminal background color.You can see right and down.
Is there a easy way to fix this that there are always the background color from the scheme i use? Or a easy way with the vimrc ?
best regards
The only fix is to have your terminal and vim's background use the same color. Or make vim not have a background color.
Some terminals like urxvt allow you to define the width of that gutter, maybe your terminal does too.
I am using Redhat Linux and the problem I am facing is that the "blue" colour of the directories is hardly visible on the black background. I found some posts on the web which asks to change some settings in the file /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh and /etc/profile.d/colorls.csh. However, this will change the colour settings for everyone who logs into the system. Could someone please let me know how I can change the colour settings that will affect only me?
To specify the colors of the output of ls, you need to set LS_COLORS. In your .zshrc, try adding:
LS_COLORS="$LS_COLORS:di=00;33"
34 is blue, 33 is ... yellowish. Change that number and find what you like.
Use dircolors to get a feel for what LS_COLORS should look like and add -p to see a color list.
Joachim's answer is good for fixing the specific issue of directories, but if any other utilities output using the "blue" color, you will find them just as unreadable.
Different terminal emulators have different settings for changing the colors; my terminal emulator of choice reads X resources to determine what colors to use:
URxvt.color0: #000000
URxvt.color1: #A80000
URxvt.color2: #00A800
URxvt.color3: #A8A800
URxvt.color4: #0000A8
URxvt.color5: #A800A8
URxvt.color6: #00A8A8
URxvt.color7: #A8A8A8
URxvt.color8: #000054
URxvt.color9: #FF0054
URxvt.color10: #00FF54
URxvt.color11: #FFFF54
URxvt.color12: #0000FF
URxvt.color13: #FF00FF
URxvt.color14: #00FFFF
URxvt.color15: #FFFFFF
color4 is the blue in question; I have mine set like this:
URxvt.background: #000000
URxvt.foreground: gray75
URxvt.color3: DarkGoldenrod
URxvt.color4: RoyalBlue
URxvt.color11: LightGoldenrod
URxvt.color12: LightSteelBlue
URxvt.color7: gray75
URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff
URxvt.colorUL: LightSlateGrey
URxvt.colorIT: SteelBlue
URxvt.cursorColor: grey90
URxvt.highlightColor: grey25
This gives a black background, not-too-bright foreground, and most other colors are reasonable enough. (I too found the default blue unreadable.) I put these into my ~/.Xresources file, and they take effect after log in or after merging this file with the X resources database: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources.
Of course, different terminals are configured differently. Check your terminal's manpage for more details on changing the colors of the usual colors.
You can see what is done in the global file, and then add it to your private ~/.profile (or similar file.)
samolod solution is good.
In case of KDE konsole you go to
Settings -> Edit current profile -> Appearance -> Edit -> Color 5.
Then use graphical color chooser to make it brighter (I picked #5871FF).
