I'm running iterm2 and when I'm in tmux mode the colorscheme I have set in vim does not show up. Only the color scheme I've set in iterm. If I run vim from shell the colorscheme appears correct – its only when I'm in tmux mode.
I've tried setting :colorscheme molokai
when in vim (see screenshot below) and it doesn't change – again, the default colorscheme for iterm2 remains.
Am I missing some setting to iterm or tmux.conf? My dotfles are up on github here.

I had the same problem. Only difference was I am using
solarize
rather thenmolokai
.To fix the issue, I have set up an alias in
~/.bashrc
:And set up the
default-terminal
option in~/.tmux.conf
:Lastly, do
$ source ~/.bashrc
to load new alias.
