Here's a screenshot, with GVim in background, and terminal vim in foreground.

but the screenshots in your readme are of much lighter shade, why is that ?

I'm on Fedora 19 and output of vim --version

Oh. This is strange. I'm getting the same darker color with Mac OS X Terminal. I'm primarily using iTerm2. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Sorry it took so long. So I have no idea why it looks different on iTerm2.app. I just didn't have the motivation to work on a fix. But I did arrive at a conclusion that the "Silver" color (#bdc3c7) is indeed too dark on 16 million color capable terminals (e.g. MacVim, GVim). For that, I am working on a fix for it right now, or if you can send a pull request of an already fixed "silver" color, I'd love to see it. I'll only be fixing the "silver", so let me know if there are other colors that don't look right.

Unfortunately I have no idea why the colors look different between Terminal.app (and other terminals too) and iTerm2.app, and it will probably be a WONTFIX since I only use iTerm2. But I'm sure this is just an issue of calibrating colors between the two terminals. I'd love to hear ideas about how to address this issue.

Thanks.

On Windows Gvim the color is even more difficult to see: Really strange!
