True color (24-bit) terminal support for tmux-1.9a and tmux-2.0
This diff is a modified version of a diff written by Arnis Lapsa.
[ The original can be found here: https://gist.github.com/ArnisL/6156593 ]
This diff adds support to tmux for 24-bit color CSI SRG sequences. This
allows terminal based programs that take advantage of it (e.g., vim or
emacs with https://gist.github.com/choppsv1/73d51cedd3e8ec72e1c1 patch)
to display 16 million colors while running in tmux.
The primary change I made was to support ":" as a delimeter as well
as the older ";" delimeter. The ":" delimiter is defined by ITU T.416
which is apparently the correct way to do this; however, many early
implementations of 24 bit support in terminal applications used ";"
so both are supported. Additionally I updated the diff to apply cleanly
to 1.9a as well as the current tmux git head.

This isn't working for me. I followed the same steps as @af. What am I doing wrong?

I'm running arch Linux. The only errors I get throughout the entire installation are white space errors with the git apply command.

EDIT: I installed linuxbrew on my arch machine and tried tmux through that. I edited the formula and added the patch. It says it all hunks patch successfully, but my true color still doesn't work.

@michaelslec here is the changed section in my brew formula. I put it right before def install:

  option "with-truecolor", "Build with truecolor patch enabled"
  patch do
    url "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/choppsv1/dd00858d4f7f356ce2cf/raw/75b073e85f3d539ed24907f1615d9e0fa3e303f4/tmux-24.diff"
    sha1 "101aa54529adf8aa22216c3f35d55fc837c246e8"
  end if build.with? "truecolor"

Then run brew install tmux --with-truecolor. I haven't used linuxbrew so I'm not sure if you need to change those steps at all. Hope it helps!
