This theme replicates the default vim theme, using the 16-color palette.
The original theme uses constants to define colors, e.g.:Blue, Red, Green, Brown, LightBlue, LightRed, LightGreen, DarkBlue, DarkRed, DarkGreen, etc.
Terminal emoulators might interpret these differently, based on how many colors they can represent. This theme ensures only 16 colors are shown.

Copy the default-16.vim.template file in your ~/.vim/colors/ directory and rename it to default-16.vim.
