The Vim GUI (gvim or MacVim) and Console Vim normally don't inherit colors from each other (but see the wiki page linked below). Colors for the GUI are set in the range from #000000 (black) to #FFFFFF (white) as RRGGBB settings for a total of 2^24 different shades; this uses the guifg= and guibg= settings in the :hi ex-command. Colors for Console Vim are set in the range from 0 to (&t_Co - 1), usually 0 to 7 or 0 to 15, by the ctermfg= and ctermbg= arguments. "VIM using the proper blue () where as MacVim does not inherit that color", you say. Or is it the opposite? Most terminal emulators can't display more than 256 different colors, which means that unless you're using a "safe" #RRGGBB color the result will be slightly off. Safe colors are defined as colors where the red, green and blue values are each a multiple of 0x33, plus a number of shades of grey about which I don't know the details (multiples of 0x33 means hex 00, 33, 66, 99, CC and FF, or six values; 6x6x6 for the three components makes 216, plus 16 for the "conventional" 16-color palette leaves room for 24 additional shades of grey). See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_GUI_color_settings_in_a_terminal for details. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
