# Using Delta with tmux

If you're using tmux, it's worth checking that 24 bit color is working correctly. For example, run a color test script like this one, or one of the others listed here. If you do not see smooth color gradients, see the discussion at tmux#696. The short version is you need something like this in your `~/.tmux.conf`:

    set -ga terminal-overrides ",*-256color:Tc"

and you may then need to quit tmux completely for it to take effect.

If colors look wrong, then see the page on truecolor/24-bit color to ensure that this is working correctly.
