I've noticed that with default config.h of st, when I try to invoke vim inside st, there's no difference between white color ctermfg=7 and ctermfg=15.



Here I expect 7 will have less-white than 15 but I see no difference with :hi



How to change this behavior?



Resolved: I change the correct color in array colorname and rebuild.

          % infocmp -1 st|grep -E '(colors|setaf)'
          colors#8,
          setaf=E[3%p1%dm,
          %


          The terminfo database entry for Simple Terminal tells the world that it supports 8 colours, and provides no mechanism for specifying more than 8 colours. That world includes VIM and every other program that uses terminfo.





          % infocmp -1 st-256color|grep -E '(colors|setaf)'
          st-256color|stterm-256color|simpleterm with 256 colors,
          colors#256,
          setaf=E[%?%p1%8%<%t3%p1%d%e%p1%16%<%t9%p1%8%-%d%e38;5;%p1%d%;m,
          %


          If you want to convince the (terminfo-using part of the) world that Simple Terminal supports 256 colours, and tell it how to use those 256 colours, you need to specify a different terminal type.
