ANSI colors and Solarized
Categories: [ IT ]
The Solarized color scheme redefines some of the standard basic ANSI colors, making some color combinations unsuitable for display. In particular, bright green, bright yellow, bright blue and bright cyan are tones of grey instead of the expected colors.
Also, some terminals interpret bold text as bright colors, turning e.g, bold
green into a shade of grey instead of the expected green. At least in
URxvt, setting intensityStyles: False will prevent bold text from being
displayed in bright colors (but will still be displayed in a bold font).
When redefining color schemes for terminal applications using ANSI colors, these are possible combinations, using the usual ANSI color names. Note that bright colors are usually not available as background colors.
