Colors of Dracula theme are off.

I had the same issue, the fix was to add this snippet of code to my .vimrc:

if (has("termguicolors"))
  set termguicolors
endif

To find your TERM, you can usually printenv TERM in a shell, or :echo $TERM in Vim.

Alacritty does support truecolor, but you may need to have an up-to-date terminfo and corresponding TERM set.

The background can be adjusted slightly or dramatically depending on your preference. See :help dracula.

Note that @FinnTheTurkey's solution will only work for terminals which support 24-bit color (among them, Alacritty).

Closing this (looks stale, and I think solutions were mentioned) with a nod to g:dracula_colorterm.

Hey guys,
I faced the same issue on my macos:

$> echo $TERM
xterm-256color

Dracula installed into ~/.vim/pack/themes/start/dracula

And what's interesting :help dracula shows me E149: Sorry, no help for dracula. Looks like the problem with installation.

[benknoble]

@VERGILIY that looks unrelated to this issue (I don't see how they are the same?). If you want to continue discussion, let's open a new one. I'm going to close this one like I said I would.

P.S. Try :helptags ALL then :help dracula.
