Thanks for the update! Could you maybe build it with slang? That way
mutt can support 256 colors.

I don't find anything in the mutt documentation that says
that 256 color requires slang.

Have you some reference ?

Yes, https://superuser.com/questions/695867/not-able-to-use-solarized-in-mutt
I have the same problem and compiling mutt against slang fixes the issue.

Thanks.

I am not using a mutt colorscheme but a mintty one which mutt fails to
render. I will, however, try the change but a quote from the page

"The solution is to replace a lot of the very specific color
specifications of the colorscheme by the value default. "

This proves the point that mutt is unable to use 256-color specifications.

Thanks,
Ismail

ncurse can handle 256 color.
I doubt that mutt is different from other programs.


which TERM variable are you using ?

  $ TERM="xterm"
  $ tput colors
8

$ TERM="xterm-256color"
$ tput colors
256

My TERM is also xterm-256color but however that won't matter because
looking at mutt-1.6.0/color.c

I see:

  #ifdef USE_SLANG_CURSES
  static char *get_color_name (char *dest, size_t destlen, int val)
  {
    static const char * const missing[3] = {"brown", "lightgray", "default"};
    int i;
  [...]
  #endif

and similar functions. So looks like "some" color functionality
depends on slang.

ismail

So, can we enable slang dependency now?
