Question about solarized color scheme

Hi,

I'm trying to get the solarized color scheme, running. I'm using gnome-terminal and installed the gnome-terminal-solarized light/dark themes. However, the mutt 256 color theme seems not to be supported (github) and the vim solarized settings look awful. So, I'm wondering what actually might cause this. One reason might simply be that my terminal emulator (gnome-terminal + solarized color scheme) does not support the full solarized color scheme, which might simply explain while the mutt/vim themes look awful. Am I right or I have simply done some misconfiguration? I've also tried to use the supported Xresources file, but the terminal (xterms) is dark and I get the following errors (on the gnome-terminal I've tried to open it):

$ xterm
Warning: Color name "S_base03" is not defined
Warning: Color name "S_base01" is not defined
Warning: Color name "S_base00" is not defined

mutt simply complains with

...
Error in ... mutt/.solarized-light, line 122: 244: color not supported by term
Error in ... mutt/.solarized-light, line 127: 160: color not supported by term
Error in ... mutt/.muttrc, line 5: source: errors in ... .mutt/.solarized-light

I've searched for 'installation' instructions, but obviously it is so simple that no installation instructions are required. The github readme just simply states to copy over the files to the corresponding directories (which I have done, but it simply does not work). I'm really sorry for this dumb questions, but I would be really helpful if somebody could point me into the right direction!

Thanks in advance!
