[solved] List of cterm colors?

Hi,

I'm a bit confused. I'd like to change a vim color scheme but I have no clue what colors the numbers (e.g. ctermbg=236) stand for (only for 16 colors).

I also tried this but it complains about missing rgb.txt (I have vim 7.2).

Anyone has a list of all 256 colors?

There is a Vim Wiki tip here: Xterm256 color names for console Vim

This page has a nice little block of the 256 color palette with tooltips showing the number when you place your mouse over a color.

Took a minute to write this for you (as well as myself).

#!/usr/bin/env python

fg = '\033[38;5;'
bg = '\033[48;5;'

for i in range( 0, 256):
  n = str(i)
  fgstr = fg + n + 'm' + n
  bgstr = bg + n + 'm' 'XXXXX'
  print fgstr, bgstr, '\033[0m'
