I've followed the instructions for installing Solarized on iTerm 2, on my new OSX Yosemite machine. It looks as though the background and basic colours are being applied, and $TERM produces xterm-256color.

However, everything is very monochrome. How can I get iTerm to highlight the output in a more helpful way?

  • what do you expect to be colorized? try ls -G. It seems that solarized is a set of color schemes. IT doesn't make your commands do colorization. You may need to check your vim settings as well Jan 6, 2015 at 23:03
  • I was hoping that the details of ls -al would be colorized in a useful way. I've followed the instructions for setting up Solarized with vim here: ethanschoonover.com/solarized/vim-colors-solarized - I now have nice colours in vim, but I still have a very monochrome GUI.

  • I think the section "IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TERMINAL USERS" on ethanschoonover.com/solarized/vim-colors-solarized might be relevant ("If you are going to use Solarized in Terminal mode...") but I can't understand what it's asking me to do.

  • This may also be relevant, as it's how I installed solarized: github.com/altercation/solarized/tree/master/…

  • As I said before, You need to add the G flag (on Mac OS X) for it to colonize. Jan 8, 2015 at 0:24
