Invisible text in iTerm, visible when highlighting

[eyaleizenberg]

Suggestions?

Solarized uses the same color for "bright black" as it does for the background, so the text is invisible. You'll have to modify the bright black color to be something more visible.

Wouldn't it make more sense for Solaized to not use bright black as the background color? OP's use case is not unusual.

The same happens with Solarized Light w/ things that are “bright white” I think.

In case anyone else comes by this problem:

@Olshansk what colour did you change it to?

[Olshansk]

@danielcompton RGB hex is 268299.

This seems to be the color that vim solarized uses as background. So that's another problem - if you change it to another color, that will now be vim's background color and will not match the iterm background color anymore.
