urxvt256 does not obey colors beyond 0-15 in .Xresources

[rbong]

According to https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox/wiki/Terminal-specific , one of the methods to get urxvt256 to load the correct colors in terminal vim is to include the colors in my .Xresources and source it with xrdb, so that is what I did. The terminal accepts the first 16 colors, but the commands to change the colors beyond 16 are not heeded. I checked the palette before and after sourcing the bash script provided for the color corrections, and the changes that it applies are definitely still needed to get the correct color scheme in terminal vim.

The workaround in urxvt256 right now for me is to source the bash script in my .bashrc right now, but I thought I'd report that the method with .Xresources you mention isn't working with me. I'm on Debian Sid if that makes any difference.

Do you have any idea if there's something I'm missing for the Xresources method to work, or is it something on urxvt's end? I include my .Xresources just in case it helps

Maybe you need to make use of urxvt-xresources-256 (Perl extension for rxvt-unicode that allows setting all 256 colors via X resources)

@nihilismus according to this comment on the original migrated issue this is the case: morhetz#65 (comment)
