This theme was designed to be clean and functional, starting from the default
theme distributed with irssi. Colors are strictly used for functionality and
you may want to check the main [Solarized repository] to see if there is an
official theme.

So in order for irssi to display the Solarized palette, you have to set your
Terminal emulator's color settings to the Solarized palette. The [Solarized
repository] includes theme settings for some popular terminal emulators as
-well as Xdefaults; or you can download them from the official [Solarized]
+well as Xresources; or you can download them from the official [Solarized]
homepage. If you use the irssi themes *without* having changed your
emulator's palette, you will get a strange selection of colors that may be
hard to read.
