colour schema for whole terminal

[gitlerat]

Hi I read your blog post regarding this repo (https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/vim-16-color/)
I am on Linux and using xterm. Maybe stupid question but how can I use your colourset on my whole terminal apps? Because in the repo files is not even a single color code to find? I do not get it how this works ...
Glad about every help :)

So after some fiddling I understand whats going on. One question is still there.
In a html or bash file the comments are not highligted. If I set termguicolors in my vimrc its is working, but then there are some colors present which i did not define in my xresource file. What I am missing know? :/ I really need the ability that comments are clearly visible :)

Your terminal has 16 colors set up your can refer to as “black” or “green”, or their color codes (0 and 2, respectively). Outside of that, there’s a host of other colors modern terminals can use. Dim uses only the 16 colors, but something else might be setting a color outside of that range, like “#abc123”, for example. That would also show up, but won’t be customizable in your settings. Does that make sense?
