I'm new to Ubuntu. Recently I installed tmux on my Ubuntu 16.04.



The terminal screen in tmux shows 256 color correctly. However, when I opened vim in tmux, the color was different from what normally showed in terminal.



I tried adding set -g default-terminal "screen-256color" in my .tmux.conf file but the problem still exists.



Terminal screen in tmux:



terminal_screen_in_tmux



Vim in terminal:



vim_in_terminal



Vim in tmux



vim_in_tmux

  • @jdwolf Even if I launch tmux with -2, the color is still different in vim inside tmux.
