iTerm2 + mutt: solarized looks brown

[royger]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the solarized-dark color profile with mutt and iTerm2, I have mutt compiled with slang support, and the terminal type set to xterm-256color. I'm using the profile called mutt-colors-solarized-dark-256.muttrc by adding the following to my muttrc file:

source mutt/mutt-colors-solarized-dark-256.muttrc

I'm attaching a screenshot of how my mutt looks when this is loaded, and the same happens if I try to use the build-in terminal app instead of iTerm2. FWIW, I would like to avoid loading the solarized colour profile into iTerm2, because I don't want my terminals to have that look, and it also interacts badly with irssi.

Thanks, Roger.
