## 256 colorspace

If using a Base16 terminal theme designed to keep the 16 ANSI colors intact (a "256" variation) **and** have sucessfully modified your 256 colorspace with [base16-shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) you'll need to add the following to your `~/.vimrc` **before** the colorsheme declaration.

    let base16colorspace=256  " Access colors present in 256 colorspace

This will cause vim to access the colours in the modified 256 colorspace. Please **do not** enable this simply because you have a 256 color terminal as this will cause colors to be displayed incorrectly.

## Troubleshooting

There is a script to help troubleshoot colour issues called `colortest` available in the [Base16 Shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) repository.

If you are using a ISO-8613-3 compatible terminal (
[vim docs](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/23c1b2b018c8121ca5fcc247e37966428bf8ca66/runtime/doc/options.txt#L7876),
[neovim docs](https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html#'termguicolors')), and
you see a green or blue line, try to enable `termguicolors`:

```vim
set termguicolors
```

### Green line numbers

If your Vim looks like the above image you are using a 256 terminal theme without setting `let base16colorspace=256` in your `~/.vimrc`. Either set `let base16colorspace=256` in your `~/.vimrc` or use a non 256 terminal theme.

### Blue line numbers

![blue line numbers screenshot](/screenshots/with-base16colorspace-256-without-base16-shell.png)

If your Vim looks like the above image you are setting `let base16colorspace=256` in your `~/.vimrc` but either not running [Base16 Shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) or [Base16 Shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) is not working for your terminal. Either ensure [Base16 Shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) is working by running the `colortest` available in the [Base16 Shell](https://github.com/base16-project/base16-shell) repository or not setting `let base16colorspace=256` in your `~/.vimrc`.

## Customization

If you want to do some local customization, you can add something like this to your `~/.vimrc`:

```vim
function! s:base16_customize() abort
  call Base16hi("MatchParen", g:base16_gui05, g:base16_gui03, g:base16_cterm05, g:base16_cterm03, "bold,italic", "")
endfunction

augroup on_change_colorschema
  autocmd!
  autocmd ColorScheme * call s:base16_customize()
augroup END
```
