I looked into this and changing to using a "device-dependent color space" the colors as measure by DigitalColor Meter is exactly the same RGB-triple you specify in Vim's ":hi" command. While this may seem desirable I'm not really sure that it is. Reading Apple's developer documents [1] it would seem a bad idea to use a device-dependent color space (e.g. if you have two monitors the colors will match better with a calibrated color space). It seems more appropriate that anybody who thinks the colors are "too bright" or "too washed out" should instead calibrate their monitors. That's not the final word on this issue -- I'm just reporting my findings. I'd like to hear more opinions on this. To conclude: I'd consider changing to a device-dependent color space (i.e. so that rgb values measured with DigitalColor Meter matches the values specified in Vim), but before doing so I need an informed argument as to why this is preferable over using a calibrated color space (which tries to ensure that the colors look the same on whichever device is attached).
