| Apr 4, 2016 at 20:39 | comment | added | Adaephon | You got the gist of it. Although "iTerm theme" would refer to the color settings in the terminal emulator, while "avit" and "kardan" would be zsh themes (oh-my-zsh themes to be precise). See my answer for a, hopefully, better explanation. | |

| Apr 4, 2016 at 14:49 | comment | added | Kao | @Adaephon So really, an iTerm theme is just how it behaves, and I'll have to fit the colors in as i wish, to make it look like the theme I want? | |
| Apr 4, 2016 at 14:38 | comment | added | Adaephon | Just saw your edit. Yes that is expected. Inside (most?) terminals themes cannot set colors by their RGB value, but use the color index instead. Depending on the terminal 8, 16, 88 or 256 colors are available. While most terminals support 256 colors and indices 16 to 255 seem to be the same for most terminals, many themes only use 0-15 (shell more so than vim). It is more portable and users can change colors to their liking in their terminal without changing every theme (vim, dircolors, shell, etc…) | |
| Apr 4, 2016 at 14:24 | comment | added | Adaephon | The RGB values of the the first 8 or 16 colors (which are often used because they do not depend on the 256color extension) depend on the terminal emulator and are often configurable. Have a look at the tab "Colors" of the "Preferences" Dialog. | |
