XTerm color palette

Question

I'm trying to switch from gnome-terminal to xterm (which is much faster) but cannot change color palette to solarized. I've found that I need paste all settings in ~/.Xresources and then run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources. I have the following in my configuration Xterm*color0: #073642 but in vim the color is black as you can see. The whole file:

! xterm*font: *-fixed-*-*-*-14-*
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
XTerm*loginShell: true
XTerm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48
XTerm*faceName: Ubuntu Mono

To run Vim in XTerm with a complex color scheme like Solarized, you don't usually need to make any changes to .Xdefaults. You need to be sure you have $TERM correctly set, and some additional settings in .vimrc. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9832660/why-dont-most-vim-color-schemes-look-as-nice-as-the-screenshot-when-i-use-them/9833425#9833425 — Michael Berkowski, Oct 29 '16 at 21:13
I don't use solarized in vim, only in terminal. In vim I have my own color scheme which depends on terminal colors. — Evgeniy, Oct 29 '16 at 21:53
You should clarify this question then. From the tags and the description specifically mentioning Vim, it would appear you're asking about Vim. — Michael Berkowski, Oct 29 '16 at 22:46
It does not matter anymore, the problem is gone. I'm not sure why but now all works as expected. I thought this is because there was "Xterm" instead of "XTerm" (I've changed it later) but after replacing nothing was crashed. — Evgeniy, Oct 29 '16 at 23:47
