Solarized Dark, specifically, is not well-suited for terminal use, because the author has assigned "bright black" to nearly the same color as the background. Many applications expect that 'bright black' text will be visible against the background. See here for many examples: https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/220 https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/220 Nearly all other colorschemes represent 'bright black' as a gray color, which is readable against the black background.
