Vim Solarized dark theme looks weird on iTerm2

solarizedvim

I just installed the solarized colorscheme following instructions on the project's page.

This is what it looks like now:

which is not like those screenshots on the official page.

Any idea how to fix this?

EDIT:
This is the color setup of my iterm2 profile.

Best Answer

You have two options, the first is to add the following line to your .vimrc to use a slightly degraded version of the colorscheme:

let g:solarized_termcolors=256

Or you can install the the color palette iterm2-colors-solarized/Solarized Dark.itermcolors from the following download off of the author's website.
