I'm trying to use the solarized colour scheme in my i3 config, but the colours are coming slightly strange, for example the cream colour showing up as grey instead. The colours show up correctly in my terminal though.

I can't figure out what's going on, so could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

EDIT: Solved. Seems to be the colour naming convention, once its changed it works fine.
