The above fixes the colours in tmux but the colours are still odd in vim

Do the above and make sure those 2 colour lines in the .vimrc are commented out

This is still an issue 👺

With the above:

• tmux colours are correct
• vim colours are correct
• vim in tmux colours are wonky (mainly the background)

I "fixed" this by making sure everything identified as screen-256color by adding this to my .bashrc: https://github.com/rey/.dot/blob/master/bashrc#L1.

It's probably a bad idea but it works for the moment. In the future I should investigate the fact that it could be due to xfce4-terminal or something more obtuse.

tmux requires screen-256color, @cenau suggested that I add a line to my bashrc that checks if the $TMUX variable is set. If so then set screen-256color otherwise set xterm-256color.

That seems to do the trick! https://github.com/rey/.dot/commit/b1ee543191c822c20b47989de3aff43a02cd7400
