In particular, the background face is a bright blue, when the theme is loaded in a terminal. For example, here is a screenshot of `emacs -Q` in a GNOME terminal.\r\n\r\n![color_theme_sanityinc_dolarized_dark](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5009546/5822142/4586638c-a086-11e4-8e3e-b91a51c1e5b6.png)\r\n\r\nI can reproduce s similar result in `xfce4-terminal`. In contrast the canonical `vim` solarized theme colors the background a dark grey, although I don't necessarily agree with some of the other color choices.\r\n![selection_003](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5009546/5822265/74b16dd6-a087-11e4-8b06-32c6aa6441c3.png)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/comments/198674083","html_url":"https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/16#issuecomment-198674083","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/issues/16","id":198674083,"user":{"login":"cpaulik","id":380927,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/380927?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik","html_url":"https://github.com/cpaulik","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cpaulik/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-19T09:34:24Z","updated_at":"2016-03-19T09:34:24Z","body":"Take a look at https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized/blob/master/solarized-definitions.el They use `brightblack` for `base03` and so on if `solarized-termcolors` is set to 16 and emacs is started in a terminal. So in this theme you could introduce a variable like `solarized-termcolors` that then uses the 16 standard terminal color names that you already have in [your list](https://github.com/purcell/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized/blob/master/color-theme-sanityinc-solarized.el#L71-L86)"}}
