How can I make the GUI version look like the terminal version+notermguicolors?

[STaRDoGGCHaMP]

Consider the following comparison:

Left: vim 8.1 on Arch Linux (over ssh with PuTTY+xterm-256color) Right: gvim 8.1 on Windows 10

I personally like the left side more because of the less bright colors and I would like to have the exact same colors while using gvim. These less bright colors are the result of notermguicolors, which is demonstrated by the following comparison:

However, setting notermguicolors does of course not have any effect on gvim. Is there still a way to achieve the exact color scheme on the left in gvim?

If you would like the exact same colors, you will have to set the g:gruvbox_colors option with the appropriate colors. Here is a wiki link on the option.

The most direct way to do what you want is to override these colors (see the palette).

You can find the terminal colors you're looking for in the dark palette image. 256 color variants are listed in the top left corner.

However if you're looking for less bright colors, a more supported way to do this would be to set g:gruvbox_contrast_dark and set dark0 in g:gruvbox_colors to a darker value.

Let me know if that answers your question.

Thanks a bunch. The following does the trick. RGB values are taken from the xterm 256 Color Chart [1].

set background=dark
