tmux always supports 256 colours, but most programs will only try to
display 256 colours if the $TERM environment variable names a terminal
definition that claims to support 256 colours.
By default, tmux sets $TERM for new windows and panes to "screen", which
is a terminal definition that claims to support 8 colours. If you put
something like this in ~/.tmux.conf:
set-option -g default-terminal screen-256color
...then programs running inside tmux should use the "screen-256color"
terminal definition which (as the name implies) claims to support 256
colours, and everything should work as you expect.
