Incorrect colors with vim in iTerm2 using Solarized

Question

I am having a strange issue with iTerm2, in terminal vim (non-gui) and the solarized color scheme. First, I have set iTerm2 to use the dark solarized colour scheme.

Answer 1

The above answers didn't work for me.

I'm using iTerm2 with vim 7.3 on OS X 10.7.4.

If the above solutions didn't work for you too, try this

syntax on
set background=dark
let g:solarized_termtrans = 1
colorscheme solarized

Update: According to Jim Stewart, this works on Kitty too.
