Your terminal and its terminfo definition have to support it. If you run

infocmp -1L | grep enter_dim_mode

and get no output then your terminfo doesn't support it and therefore fish
can't either. Note that xterm doesn't support dim mode so the usual xterm
terminfo definitions don't either. Both Terminal.app and iTerm2 support dim
mode but if you're using a xterm terminfo definition (e.g.,
"xterm-256color") then fish doesn't know the terminal supports it. You'll
need to create a custom terminfo definition that includes
"enter_dim_mode=\E[2m".
