if I echo $TERM from my terminal, I get rxvt-unicode-256color and tput colors shows 256. I like the custom color scheme that I have there as defined in my .Xresources file. However, when I launch tmux -2, things change. echo $TERM shows tmux-256color while tput colors still shows 256, but all text is single color unless I am in vim...and that is even more strange because the color scheme in vim (inside tmux) is different than the color scheme of vim in my regular terminal (rxvt).

Only line that I currently have in ~/.tmux.conf is set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"

Can someone please help me line these two up to match?

Perhaps you meant

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"

rather than

set -g default-termainal "tmux-256color"

  • you are correct...must have typed too fast as "terminal" is indeed what I have in my .conf file. I just updated the original post; thanks for pointing that out. – KeyserSöze Mar 20 '18 at 01:54
