Same thing happens to me with tmux

Check with the command echotc Co, "it indicates a limit on the number of colours which will be enforced by the line editor." (cit).

If it return 8 you can use only black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white as foreground colors in ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE variable: ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE="fg=blue"

edit:
my solution was to set TERM=xterm-256color in .zshrc' file, before setting the fg color:

TERM=xterm-256color
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE="fg=8"

Worked for me

Didn't work for me on iTerm with p10k and oh my zsh.

echotc Co is giving me 256.

My config has

TERM=xterm-256color
zle_highlight+=(paste:none)
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE="fg=241,bold,underline"

It works when I open a new tab, but when I then run source ~/.zshrc in the same tab it loses the autosuggestion color and looks similar to the original screenshot.

Do you happen to have the FORCE_FLOAT option set? See my issue #565 , where I solved my problem with this by simply unsetting this option.

[nikbanerjee-ibm]

Unfortunately not, I just checked any and all zsh config I could find if FORCE_FLOAT is set anywhere and also checked setopt after sourcing ~/.zshrc and it's not set. Similarly, unsetopt FORCE_FLOAT does nothing in ways of resolving the issue for me.

I'm having the same issue with macOS and iTerm2
