Calibrated probably sounds good at first *but*: - Most user displays are not calibrated. - Vim colors on other platforms are not calibrated as far as I know. I would expect the same behaviour all platforms if I use the same vimrc. - Since Apple switched to Windows Gamma (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3712) in Snow Leopard, the device colors should be the basically the same on all platforms on the same(!) monitor. - Browsers use uncalibrated colors for CSS-Values and (some brwosers) only correct the colors in images with specific profiles. (http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/color-spaces-page3 and http://webkit.org/blog/73/color-spaces/) - I come from a web-design and development perspective. So everything I do has normally uncalibrated/sRGB output, so that images (probably calibrated) and CSS and Flash (uncalibrated) match. The HTML5 and the CSS specifications are assuming sRGB for the most part (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/). So *I* would expect vim to show the same color as my browser on the same color value. ;-) But seriously: It doesn't matter that much in the end, because MacVim is only the best text editor out there, but not an image editing solution.
