Terminal Vim uses color codes 1-8, 1-16, 1-88, 1-256, etc. depending on how many colors your color terminal supports. These color codes correspond to different actual colors depending on your terminal and the setup of that terminal. GUI gvim uses full 24-bit RGB color specifications like #c0ffee Many color schemes do not even bother setting up terminal colors. Even those that do rarely give exact matches. There are a couple plugins which translate the GUI colors into the closest matching terminal color codes. See the following for a little more detail: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_GUI_color_settings_in_a_terminal -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
