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.

Download Solarized package (https://github.com/altercation/solarized) and follow instructions:

Open iTerm 2, open Preferences, click on the "Profiles" (formerly Addresses, formerly Bookmarks) icon in the preferences toolbar, then select the "colors" tab. Click on the "load presets" and select "import...". Select the Solarized Light or Dark theme file.

You have now loaded the Solarized color presets into iTerm 2, but haven't yet applied them. To apply them, simply select an existing profile from the profile list window on the left, or create a new profile. Then select the Solarized Dark or Solarized Light preset from the "Load Presets" drop down.

====================================

Or:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/altercation/vim-colors-solarized.git

Modify .vimrc

Dark Theme:

syntax enable
set background=dark
colorscheme solarized

Light

syntax enable
set background=light
colorscheme solarized
