If you’re using vim in iTerm2 on your Mac, make sure you select ‘xterm-256color’ in the Report Terminal Type under Terminal Emulation. This will let vim know that you’re using a terminal capable of 256 colors.
All you need to do now is make sure your .vimrc is set for 256 color schemes:
set t_Co=256
colorscheme grb4
Now you’ll have pretty vim color schemes in iTerm2.
* grb4 is Gary Bernhardt’s color scheme found here: https://github.com/garybernhardt/dotfiles

What font are you using ?

Not sure what that font was. I’m using 13pt Menlo Regular for Powerline now.
