Directory color faded in terminal with true color

[bronzehedwick]

Problems summary

Opening a Neovim terminal with set termguicolors enabled results in a very faded directory color, almost indistinguishable from the file color.

Expected

Directory colors are distinct from the file color, like they are without set termguicolors.

Hmm, good catch. I think the xterm color codes are probably off. I'll have to take some time and try to get the correct values.

Seems like there's a related issue in Neovim that might be playing into this: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/4696

I tried removing all the terminal color codes from the theme, and it works in that the xterm defaults are passed in. It looks like this:
