Shouldn't `g:terminal_color_*` follow NR-16?
First of all, thanks for creating/maintaining this theme. It is really good :)
I'm confused if this should set g:terminal_color_*
using NR-16
or NR-8
. From :help terminal-config
TERMINAL COLORS
The `{g,b}:terminal_color_x` variables control the terminal color palette,
where `x` is the color index between 0 and 255 inclusive. The variables are
read during |TermOpen|. The value must be a color name or hexadecimal string.
Example: >
let g:terminal_color_4 = '#ff0000'
let g:terminal_color_5 = 'green'
Only works for RGB UIs (see 'termguicolors'); for 256-color terminals the
color index is just forwarded.
From this I understand that this override will work up to g:terminal_color_255
but it does not clarify which standard should be used. Looking at :help cterm-color
*cterm-colors*
NR-16 NR-8 COLOR NAME ~
0 0 Black
1 4 DarkBlue
2 2 DarkGreen
3 6 DarkCyan
4 1 DarkRed
5 5 DarkMagenta
6 3 Brown, DarkYellow
7 7 LightGray, LightGrey, Gray, Grey
8 0* DarkGray, DarkGrey
9 4* Blue, LightBlue
10 2* Green, LightGreen
11 6* Cyan, LightCyan
12 1* Red, LightRed
13 5* Magenta, LightMagenta
14 3* Yellow, LightYellow
15 7* White
The number under "NR-16" is used for 16-color terminals ('t_Co'
greater than or equal to 16). The number under "NR-8" is used for
8-color terminals ('t_Co' less than 16). The '*' indicates that the
bold attribute is set for ctermfg. In many 8-color terminals (e.g.,
"linux"), this causes the bright colors to appear. This doesn't work
for background colors! Without the '*' the bold attribute is removed.
If you want to set the bold attribute in a different way, put a
"cterm=" argument AFTER the "ctermfg=" or "ctermbg=" argument. Or use
a number instead of a color name.
Note that for 16 color ansi style terminals (including xterms), the
numbers in the NR-8 column is used. Here '*' means 'add 8' so that Blue
is 12, DarkGray is 8 etc.
Note that for some color terminals these names may result in the wrong
colors!
I see that the standard chosen will change colors a lot since, for example, the color red
can be in position 4
or 1
depending on what was used. Anyway, I think colors from 8
to 15
should use brighter versions instead of just using the same ones as the first eight. WDYT?
Because I haven't designed a brighter palette yet, and currently there is no plan to do so.
Would be really, really great to have that brighter pallette. I encourage you to do it! Btw, really great colorscheme, I switched from regular gruvbox and I'm in love with it. And there are only 6 colors missing, as bright dark and white are done I think.
Using the existing colors I believe the terminal color set should be as follows:

Actually 8 coincides with 0 and 15 with 7, we don't have bright black and bright white, I think
As sainnhe mentionned, there is no bright palette in this colorscheme to refer to. However, it is possible to apply a shade to the existing 0-7 colors to get brighter 8-15 colors: https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material/issues/152#issuecomment-1312721186
