Theme doesn't work in standard terminal or iTerm2 about edge HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
It looks like I am having the same/very similar issue. I am using neovim over tmux on alacritty for mac. I have verified that the terminal supports true color, but the vim colors still appear wrong.

Here is what my vimrc looks like with this color scheme:

Most of the colors look ok, except for the comments, where the background and foreground colors seem to be switched.
Here is my tmux.conf:

It also looks like the sonokai colorscheme is having a similar problem, where certain highlight groups have the foreground and backgronud colors switched.
Also, when I load files with macvim, or on neovim (with terminal) without tmux, the colors appear correct.
Do you know what's going on?

This looks like a really amazing colorscheme, I would love to start using it!
Thanks!

It's true colors problem, I provided detailed debug steps in FAQ.

So terminal.app doesn't quite have the true color support necessary, so I switched to iTerm2 which does support true color but I still had issues with it rendering the theme.

From the 4 items listed to check, I did the first three and the last item I kinda already have by virtue of setting my colorscheme using autocmd vimenter.

I'll keep digging, as it looks like most of the theme is ok with the exception of the background colour being almost black instead of purple like your README shows. Which makes me think the terminal's own theme is messing something up (as per Nord's suggestion to use their own terminal theme to avoid that issue).

See FAQ, the comment color looks weird because your terminal emulator doesn't support italics. Use g:edge_disable_italic_comment to disable it.

Thanks! All fixed! Looks great!
