I made it use #dadada/253
for now, let me know if you have better ideas
I am not sure if this is windows, but 188
is broken
Alacritty is, as usual, the problem. Color 188 in xterm is #d7d7d7.
The difference between #d7d7d7 and #dadada is minute to say the least so I'm going to test-drive the slightly lighter background today.
What I'm afraid of is in the context of an entire screen it might drown out elements I already had to tone down more than I was comfortable with, like colorcolumn
.
Looks like it is not the alacritty, but the windows has the wrong 188
as in cmd.exe I can see the same pinkish colors.
I am okay with 188
as I don't use windows cmd.exe with vim but it is good to have somewhat similar colors across different environments.
I would also agree on what is correct xterm256 colors are.
Initially I have used https://www.ditig.com/256-colors-cheat-sheet (this what @neutaaaaan is using now) but I was persuaded by @romainl that https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Xterm_256color_chart.svg is more correct.

The 3rd block is wrong, every instance of df
should be d7
.
The ansi colors in both charts also seem wrong to me, what I'm seeing in xterm after a xrdb -remove
is a lot lighter than that.
I think we should agree on what https://www.ditig.com/256-colors-cheat-sheet has.
Colortemplate uses the same:
So we should use the source where d7
is used instead of df
.
For the sake of better documenting the issue, here's the original chart the .svg
replaced about 10 years ago.
This one has been verified against the xterm
source code and it is correct.
So now that we've opened this can of worms, should we try getting the file on wikipedia fixed, as well as whatever is going on in alacritty and/or windows ?
I have reverted bg from #dadada
to #d7d7d7
as was designed (other colors depend on it).
PS, looks like windows has issue with 188
:
Turned out only blue
had a single color with df
, others are ok. Blue is fixed.
Not sure if this is terminal issue though.
there is no
#d7d7d7
in 256c according to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Xterm_256color_chart.svgclosest is
188
which is#dfdfdf
and it is still in GUI looks different to my terminal
