[S] ranger: match text preview color scheme with terminal color scheme

Here is a screenshot of ranger previewing a text file on mine setup.

As you can see, the preview doesn't look very nice. Not only that, it also looks completely different to the terminal color scheme I'm using.
I've seen screenshots of ranger when text preview color scheme matched completely to the one of the terminal. How can I make mine match too?

I have replaced your inline image with a link. Please reread the Code of Conduct regarding image sizes and use thumbnails from now on. Thank you.

I found it.

In ~/.config/ranger/scope.sh find the line that says

highlight_format=xterm256

and change it to

highlight_format=ansi

Here is a proof.
