Solarized - iTerm2 Color Presets
================================

### [See official homepage for full content](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized)

Installation
------------

Download current build of iTerm 2 from: <http://www.iterm2.com/>

NOTE: Only builds 480 (Jan 11 2011) and later support import of color schemes.
If the stable release doesn't include this function, grab the nightly build
from: <http://code.google.com/p/iterm2/downloads/list>

Open iTerm 2, open Preferences, click on the "Profiles" (formerly Addresses,
formerly Bookmarks) icon in the preferences toolbar, then select the "colors"
tab. Click on the "load presets" and select "import...". Select the Solarized
Light or Dark theme file.

You have now loaded the Solarized color presets into iTerm 2, but haven't yet
applied them. To apply them, simply select an existing profile from the profile
list window on the left, or create a new profile. Then select the Solarized
Dark or Solarized Light preset from the "Load Presets" drop down.

Ok, I've gone crazy with iTerm2 color management but you are going to be ok.
Just realize two things:

1. Like other apps (Chrome as of this writing) on the Mac, iTerm2 locks in
   a target color space when you create a new window. If you switch your
   monitor color space, relaunch iTerm2 and it will pick up the new target
   color space.

2. The colors in iTerm2 currently cannot be device colors. They are baked in as
   generic rgb (which, despite the name, is an actual, specific color space
   from Apple and is used as a default just like other systems use sRGB as
   a default). I've switch Solarized Apple Color Picker palettes to use tagged
   colors by default, so for the most part iTerm2 will match up with other apps
   where you use Color Picker swatches.

The Values
----------

L\*a\*b values are canonical (White D65, Reference D50), other values are
matched in sRGB space.
