Problem

I am running vim, and trying to get the vim solarized colors to work in terminal. I have this in my vimrc file: It doesn't seem to work. I outputted (using :echo) the value of t_Co and it is 256. What is the issue? I'm confused.

Error Output

set syntax on
set t_Co=256
" let g:solarized_termcolors=16
set background=light
colorscheme solarized

Fix for: Solarized colors in vim don't seem to be working for me

Low Risk

I had similar problems, adding this to my .vimrc fixed my problems I'm not sure why setting the color scheme to default worked but I'm using solarized light as my terminal theme so maybe the colors are just similar to solarized, however they're good…
