I am trying to setup solarized theme for vim on Terminator but it is not working. 🙁
I was successfully able to setup solarized for terminator but it just doesn’t seem to work for vim. Here is what my .vimrc looks like 

call pathogen#infect()
filetype plugin indent on
syntax enable
set background=dark
"set t_Co=16
"let g:solarized_termcolors=16
let g:solarized_visibility = "high"
let g:solarized_contrast = "high"
colorscheme solarized

$TERM is set to xterm

I have also tried it with the two lines above uncommented but still not working.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Edit: solarized vim

    Pretty sure you don’t need the vim color theme import, since you already set up the color scheme for terminator. At least, that was the only way I could get it to play nice after lots of trial and error.

    Here’s a screenshot of my vimrc, from vim, within terminator:

    enter image description here

    As you can see, I haven’t got the line

    colorscheme solarized

    So you could try taking that out – it finally seems to be working for me!

    ps your screenshot doesn’t look like it was taken from within terminator – unless we are talking about different terminators, of course.
