It doesn't seem to work in the evening colorscheme, which has a rather
dark grey background, but for which bg == light. I wonder whether the
"pale yellow" you see in your konsole is simply that console's version
of white? In my xterm, most of the "light" colorschemes I tried had
the same "whitish" background. For the ones with more grey
backgrounds, the solution above shows the ignored text in white. It's
rather obvious for the evening colorscheme, since the background is
such a dark grey; it's less obvious for a colorscheme such as morning,
whose background is a much lighter grey.
Note that both evening and morning colorschemes hide Ignore characters
completely with the following settings...
evening:
Ignore ctermfg=242
morning:
Ignore ctermfg=7
...which set ctermfg to the same number used for ctermbg in the Normal
group. I suppose I can use the brute-force approach: i.e., parse the
output of ":hi Normal" and extract the ctermfg value...
