compute the results of your configuration and store the results in a compiled
Lua file. We use these pre-cached values to set it's highlights.

## Colors doesn't match preview screenshots

Catppuccin requires true color support AKA terminals support the full range of 16 million colors

- Supported: iterm2 (macOS), kitty, wezterm, alacritty, tmux, ...

Full list of support terminals can be found here: <https://github.com/termstandard/colors#truecolor-support-in-output-devices>

- Unsupported terminal: Terminal.app (macOS), Terminus, Terminology, ...
### Why aren't my colors the same as the previews?

Full list of Unsupported terminals can be found here: <https://github.com/termstandard/colors#not-supporting-truecolor>
Catppuccin requires that your terminal supports true color, meaning that your
terminal can display the full range of 16 million colors.

### For tmux users
- Supported: iterm2 (macOS), kitty, wezterm, alacritty, [see full list...](https://github.com/termstandard/colors#truecolor-support-in-output-devices)
- Unsupported: Terminal.app (macOS), Terminus, Terminology, [see full list...](https://github.com/termstandard/colors#not-supporting-truecolor)

If you use tmux, make sure to enable [true color
support](https://gist.github.com/andersevenrud/015e61af2fd264371032763d4ed965b6)
and [italic font
support](https://gist.github.com/gyribeiro/4192af1aced7a1b555df06bd3781a722).
This will prevent issues raised in
[#415](https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim/issues/415) and
[#428](https://github.com/catppuccin/nvim/issues/428).
