I have a gruvbox theme applied to Vim inside my vimrc. The problem is that when I run the :terminal command inside Vim the colorscheme is different from either the Vim theme or the terminal emulator's theme.

I have tried this on Hyper and iTerm2 with the same results. Somehow neither of the colorschemes are applied to the :terminal. I did try looking at the discussions in github, but my knowledge of Vim is not sufficient to understand it.

Can someone explain the problem and the solution? I am running Vim version 8.2.900, Hyper 3.0.2, iTerm 3.3.10.

    The colorscheme may need to set the terminal colors via some special variables. Welcome to Vi and Vim!

  • What is that special variable and how? I'm not that proficient in vim scripting just yet. Thank you!

  • I believe it’s g:terminal_ansi_colors; you can search the plugins code for that and also check the help.

This was the color schemes defined in paper color theme. Just pasting this in the vimrc worked!

let g:terminal_ansi_colors = [
  \'#eeeeee', '#af0000', '#008700', '#5f8700',
  \'#0087af', '#878787', '#005f87', '#444444',
  \'#bcbcbc', '#d70000', '#d70087', '#8700af',
  \'#d75f00', '#d75f00', '#005faf', '#005f87' ]
