Why do my colors look a lot more dull than the one on the screenshots?

Hey folks,

I am using neovim 0.9.5 on OSX inside alacritty, my $TERM is set to alacritty and truecolors in neovim are active.

However my background seems to be a lot darker than that from the nightfox screenshot and my mode indicator (from lualine) as well.

Here's how it looks on my setup:

Compared to the one from the screenshot inside the README:

Any idea what could cause this?

There are sight differences between terminals. The terminal used in the readme is Wezterm. Here is an example of me running 4 terminals at the same time with the same neovim setup and getting slightly different results. (Ignore the different fonts did not want to configure all the terminals to use the same font)

The terminals are as followed:

Ghostty	Wezterm
Alacritty	Kitty

thanks for the response. That seems to explain the background issue. However I still wonder why the insert-mode color seems to be green for me with default settings, while the nightfox screenshot seems to be more akin to turqoise? No matter which terminal I try, I always get a green.

The screenshot in the readme is in normal mode. The screenshot that you provided is in insert mode (which is green). Also in the screenshot it was using my custom feline statusline. That is found here.

oh, yeah you are right. Thanks about the feline hint, though, that clears it up :)
