taskwarrior-tui: Wrong colors with Solarized Dark theme

I am using the Solarized Dark theme included with taskwarrior (include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/solarized-dark-256.theme in my .taskrc).

There are several differences in the color output between task and taskwarrior-tui:

color.blocked and color.blocking seem to be ignored by taskwarrior-tui: background is changed in task not in taskwarrior-tui
one of my tasks (ANNOTATED BLOCKING PENDING READY TAGGED UNBLOCKED) appears white on grey in task and red on red in taskwarrior-tui, and thus is unreadable
all tasks below priority 8 (I’m not sure that is the differentiating factor) appear red/orange in taskwarrior-tui and grey/blue in task

If you can provide a dummy task list for testing, I’d be happy to post screenshots or help reproduce, but obviously I don’t want to publish my task list.

Environment:

Operating System: Arch Linux
Installation: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/taskwarrior-tui/
taskwarrior-tui version: 0.9.6
terminal : alacritty 0.7.1

The colors are now similar to taskwarrior for almost every task in my list. 👍

The only difference I see is a task (PENDING PRIORITY READY UDA UNBLOCKED with priority L) that appears green in the taskwarrior list, but I think this is a bug of taskwarrior because other tasks in the same state do not.

No worries, I understand about not exporting your task list.

I have a fake task list here: https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-testdata. If you’d like to submit a PR there that’d be great! Or feel free to share an version here, I can update it over there. I’ll update the README.md to highlight it as well, so people can use that to submit a bug issue.
