I discovered the issue. In the vim-colors-solarized solarized.vim, the value for green under a check for has("gui_running") had the original value commented out for green, with a value commented as "experimental"... :/
Idk why they decided to do this for only the GUI version of vim, and seemingly undocumented, but I just switched the comment to get the color I was expecting. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
