Solarized Grey Comment Highlighting

[jojojames]

Not sure if this is how Solarized is supposed to look in the terminal. The comments are grey while the MacVim version looks perfect.

Only setting on is the termtrans one, iterm2 palette is in solarized dark.

+1, I also get this problem but I'm using Terminal.app with the Solarized .terminal and .vim themes:

tput colors = 256 echo $TERM = xterm-256color

I am seeing the same thing in vim in the shell, in Debian. TERM = xterm-256 t_Co = 16

+1 with this issue. I'm using urxvt on Arch Linux with the solarized color scheme for urxvt. I've got the following settings in my ~/.vimrc:

let g:solarized_termcolors=256
set background=dark
colorscheme solarized

I've had the same issue only on one of the Macs that I work on. I've tried all the possible solutions but you know what ended up working? Uninstalling then re-installing with Vundle. Go figure >.>

[ksalman]

@TulkasLaugh I recently re-installed Vundle - last week, and it didn't change anything for me >.<

[TulkasLaugh]

Yeah, I changed colorschemes and changed it back to solarized and it got messed up again. I gave up and switched to summerfruit256 for light scheme and vividchalk for dark scheme.

I used a different solarize.vim file and it just worked! I named this file solarized1.vim and put it in my /.vim/colors, then i changed colorscheme in .vimrc. And all the gray highlights on comments disappeared... https://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized

Any solutions

My terminal looks like this empty places grey highlighted which is pretty annoying
