Not working on ubuntu15.04 with tmux inside gnome-terminal

@ishankhare07, it's working for me. Can you show your tmux.conf file?

I just went through the exercise of fixing this. Here's what works for me.

.bashrc

if [[ -n ${TMUX} ]]; then
  export TERM="screen-256color"
else
  export TERM="xterm-256color"
fi

.tmux.conf

set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

.vimrc

set t_Co=256
set background=dark
silent! colorscheme solarized " Silence errors in case it isn't installed yet

The key change for me was setting the proper TERM for the shell. I had used xterm-256color for the longest time and just ignored the slight vim/tmux color issues. Once I dug into it I discovered that vi was doing the wrong thing because it didn't realize it was within a screen/tmux environment. Changing the TERM to screen-256color fixed all my issues.

I solved this with this one-liner.

Also, set t_Co=16 on .vimrc.

installation instructions say just to put

cat tmuxcolors-256.conf >> ~/.tmux.conf
