For example, run a color test script like [this one](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lifepillar/09a44b8cf0f9397465614e622979107f/raw/24-bit-color.sh), or the others listed at https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728. If you do not see smooth color gradients, see the discussion at [tmux#696](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/696).
