Just installed gruvbox color scheme for Vim on Ubuntu, but the color scheme is not fully supported in the terminal. It works fine on a fedora box. Do I need any additional settings?

3What exactly you mean with "not fully supported in the terminal" you mean the Gnome terminal colors? The vim colors? Something else?– BraiamJul 23, 2014 at 2:10

Yes vim uses Gnome terminal colors and the value was 8 in my vim. So my vim theme didn't support it since it needed at least 16– ArithranJul 24, 2014 at 9:35

If your terminal supports 256 colours then set this in your .vimrc se t_Co=256
If your not sure then set this in your .vimrc se t_Co=16
Explanation:
Getting consistent colors in different terminals is challenging because different terminals support different numbers of colors.
I ran this command on my vim which showed me the current colour setup :echo &t_Co
This returned 8. Most themes in vim need more colours than 8.
