" seoul256 (dark):
" Range: 233 (darkest) ~ 239 (lightest)

" seoul256 (light):
" Range: 252 (darkest) ~ 256 (lightest)
" Default: 253
let g:seoul256_background = 256
colo seoul256
If g:seoul256_background
is set, seoul256 will choose the right version based
on the value and set background=dark/light
will not switch versions.
If you'd like to switch versions with custom background colors, set
g:seoul256_background
to be a dark value, and additionally define
g:seoul256_light_background
for seoul256-light.
let g:seoul256_background = 233
let g:seoul256_light_background = 256
colo seoul256
colo seoul256-light
The GUI RGB colors are derived from 256-color-terminal color codes in the source code, with the help of a lookup table.
By default, the table contains RGB values of terminal colors as displayed by iTerm2 on macOS. If you're using another terminal emulator (urxvt, xfce4-terminal,... pretty much any terminal on Linux), the colors aren't displayed in the same way. That's why you may see a difference in color of GUI and terminal [n]vim in Linux.
If let g:seoul256_srgb
is set to 1, the color mapping is altered
to suit the way urxvt (and various other terminals) renders them. That way, the
colors of the terminal and GUI versions are uniformly colored on Linux.
let g:seoul256_srgb = 1
When loaded, soul256.vim will set up two global variables so that you can use them to customize other plugins:
g:seoul256_current_fg
- Current foreground color in ANSI codeg:seoul256_current_bg
- Current background color in ANSI code
