From my understanding, tmux does the mapping itself based on what it's attached to. For example, if I start a tmux 2.7 in mate-terminal (which supports 24-bit color) with the color #ff6274, when I attach that tmux session to a linux console, I get light red. In other words, AFAICT, you can always use direct color in newer versions of tmux and tmux will map the colors to whatever the underlying terminal is capable of. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
