I'm pretty sure this is not a lvim/lazygit/toggleterm bug, so I'm asking this as a discussion here.

Issue

When I'm starting lazygit from lvim, some text color is incorrect:

When I start lazygit directly, the colors are correct:

My setup

I use NixOS on WSL, fish shell, catppuccin theme, and Windows Terminal. My TERM is set to xterm-direct.

More info trying to triangulate the problem

A different terminal emulator

When I switch over to WezTerm, the color is still incorrect, but in a different way.

Launching lazygit directly still has the correct color. (My WezTerm does not have the correct theme set up, so ignore the background color which is wrong.

Other colors

It seems that the ONLY color affected is green on a shaded background (when selected):

Red is not affected:

This issue is so specific and so weird that I don't even know where to start looking :( Any ideas?

The solution is to use:

TERM=xterm-256color
COLORTERM=truecolor

The solution is to use:

TERM=xterm-256color
COLORTERM=truecolor
