Terminal colours for the Solarized coloscheme
I've only tested this on Mountain Lion and Mavericks, and cannot guarantee success using any other version.
Rather than using Terminal.app, I suggest moving to iTerm2, with the main solarized repo's iTerm2 preset. iTerm2 (with about 5 minutes of customization) is much more powerful and easier to use than Terminal.app. However, if you are deadset on using Terminal.app, these colorschemes work great.
Use the xterm-256color configurations
Use the xterm-ansi configurations
Put the following in your .vimrc, and remove any colour hacks (let g:solarized_termcolors=256
, etc.)
set background=<either dark or light>
