GruvBox Theme colors a bit off within Tmux

Here is the tmux screenshot

Here is the regular vim screenshot

As you can see, within tmux, the colors are a bit off, specifically the red color. Please help me fix this.

Have you tried enabling truecolor in your .tmux.conf (or any other tmux configuration file)? Code for enabling truecolor (taken from onedark.vim):

"Use 24-bit (true-color) mode in Vim/Neovim when outside tmux.
"If you're using tmux version 2.2 or later, you can remove the outermost $TMUX check and use tmux's 24-bit color support
"(see < http://sunaku.github.io/tmux-24bit-color.html#usage > for more information.)
if (empty($TMUX))
  if (has("nvim"))
    "For Neovim 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 < https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/2198 >
    let $NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_TRUE_COLOR=1
  endif
  "For Neovim > 0.1.5 and Vim > patch 7.4.1799 < https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/61be73bb0f965a895bfb064ea3e55476ac175162 >
  "Based on Vim patch 7.4.1770 (`guicolors` option) < https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/8a633e3427b47286869aa4b96f2bfc1fe65b25cd >
  " < https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Following-HEAD#20160511 >
  if (has("termguicolors"))
    set termguicolors
  endif
endif

The issue was with true color. Adding the following line to the .tmux.conf file fixed the problem. set-option -sa terminal-overrides ",xterm*:Tc"

(Should we add this in the README?)

I had similar issue with vim. I can confirm that you have to be damn sure true color is enabled and the app you look into actually uses that (like vim - set termguicolors).
