Over ssh true color support often isn't detected. You can use :set true-color true to fix that

Or in the config file:

[editor]
true-color = true

I also get different colors when using tmux, despite me having true-color enabled.

Both these are editing the same file using the same theme, but the left side is with tmux.

Running :set true-color true doesn't seem to have any effect for me.

I solved it with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41783367/tmux-tmux-true-color-is-not-working-properly/41786092#41786092

Unfortunately this doesn't apply to me since tmux is not involved in my situation
