light solarized mutt theme looks almost like the dark one

[potem]

Hello, I really appreciate and like your work on solarized, however I'm having trouble getting the right colors out of some themes.

mutt is using the mutt-colors-solarized-light-256.muttrc theme file in this picture, which almost looks like the dark one. I'm running mutt in urxvt with 256 colors, also using the light solarized terminal colors.

I would appreciate it, if this gets fixed in the near future.

Same issue

You need to change your terminal background yourself in terminal settings.

Same issue, though you can use the 16 version to work around it.

I use gnome-terminal, which should be 256 colours (I think), and I have configured it's colours to solarized light.

EDIT: tried changing gnome-terminal's background in the preferences, no effect whatsoever.

I also confirm, solarized-light-16 works ok, 256 version doesn't.

Any news regarding this issue?
