Add this line to your tmux.conf file
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
Add the line below to you shells rc file in my case its my .zshrc
if [[ $TERM == xterm ]]; then TERM=xterm-256color; fi
Add the line below to your .vimrc
set t_Co=256
The above configuration works for me, but if this fails try to follow this link for another methor to fix Fixing Vim's Background Color

1On my end, aside from the changes above, need to add this in
.vimrcalso:set term=xterm-256color, so my.tmux.confstill hasset -g default-terminal "screen-256color". Setting them both asxterm-256colororscreen-256colordidn't work. Commented Jan 21, 2021 at 4:28 -
