Colors not vivid

[CaptainDaVinci]

I am facing an issue where the colors on my terminal, URxvt, are not the same as the ones shown in the gallery.

$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode-256color

I've tried the suggestions in terminal-specific, but none of them seem to work for me.
Although running the gruvbox_256palette.sh does seem to make a slight difference, it is till not the same as that shown in the gallery.

Relevant lines of vimrc

 set t_8f=^[[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum        " set foreground color
 set t_8b=^[[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum        " set background color
 colorscheme gruvbox
 set t_Co=256                         " Enable 256 colors
 set termguicolors                    " Enable GUI colors for the terminal to get truecolor

Edit: I tried using the suckless-terminal (fresh install) but the colors rendered is the same as that shown above.

I recommend to switch the terminal instead. There are so many options to choose from: https://github.com/termstandard/colors#now-supporting-true-color

Also you can try st's fork instead of vanilla st - https://github.com/gnotclub/xst/

H Yashi, Anton is right. I recently experimented with colors on terminal and realized that rxvt don't accept OSC codes - or at least the subset responsible for RGB settings of color palette. Try another termina, XTerm should work better, VTE based terminals too (Gnome terminal, Terminator, XFCE terminal ...) Cheers -michael-
