Tmux status bar doesn't work with 256 colors.

I am using tmux with urxvt. I cannot change the status bar to any color above 15. I tried to set up 256 colors in my .tmux.conf by adding this:

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

But alas, it didn't work. I've also tried starting tmux by running this:

tmux -2

That didn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can change my tmux status bar to color 196 if I so desire? Thanks in advance. Help is much appreciated!

Re: Tmux status bar doesn't work with 256 colors.

What is the output of $TERM in and out of tmux. And of `tput colors` (in and out)?
