In particular, the background face is a bright blue, when the theme is loaded in a terminal. For example, here is a screenshot of `emacs -Q` in a GNOME terminal.\r\n\r\n![color_theme_sanityinc_dolarized_dark](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5009546/5822142/4586638c-a086-11e4-8e3e-b91a51c1e5b6.png)\r\n\r\nI can reproduce s similar result in `xfce4-terminal`. In contrast the canonical `vim` solarized theme colors the background a dark grey, although I don't necessarily agree with some of the other color choices.\r\n![selection_003](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5009546/5822265/74b16dd6-a087-11e4-8b06-32c6aa6441c3.png)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/comments/70706510","html_url":"https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/16#issuecomment-70706510","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/16","id":70706510,"user":{"login":"purcell","id":5636,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5636?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell","html_url":"https://github.com/purcell","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/purcell/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-20T18:34:21Z","updated_at":"2015-01-20T18:34:21Z","body":"This is probably a rounding issue: we only specify full sRGB colour values, but the terminal will quantise those colours into its palette of 16 or 256 colours. Or perhaps Emacs does that quantisation, and that's what causes the clumsy rounding. In any case, I see the same behaviour on my own machine, in iTerm on OS X.\r\n\r\nThe solution would probably be to extend the theme with 256-colour-palette definitions for all the colours, but that's a lot of work and I'm unlikely to do it in the near future."}}
