tmux is making all the color inside helix weird and more grey than they should be

[AQMpolyface]

hi, i just started using tmux, and its great! only problem is that all the color inside helix are way more gray than they should be. any ideas why there is that?
My terminal is wezterm, on arch wsl, on windows. my $TERM is tmux-256color

things i tried: changing my $TERM, i tried putting that in my config.toml:

color-modes = true
true-color = true

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix that?

here are the color, side by side:
tmux:

normal wezterm:

you'll a lot more than that for Tmux to comply, and yeah the issue is with Tmux.

if it helps, I use this:

# ../.bashrc
alias tmux="env TERM=screen-256color tmux"

# ../tmux.conf
# fix italics in tmux with:
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set -g display-time 4000
# set -g terminal-features "clipboard,hyperlinks,sixel,strikethrough,osc7,"

oh wow i tried 57 different methods to make this work properly, i had given up, but when asking chatgpt for alternatives to tmux it just randomly gave me a correct tmux config. i fixed it with

set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"
set -ag terminal-overrides ",${TERM}:Tc"

just so you know: zellij doesn't have this issue.

I'll that solution in mind

yea but i just need like 3 features from tmux, zellij feels way too complicated.
and the zellij docs are not great (at least for me)
