-Micro comes with a number of colorschemes by default. Modern terminals tend to
-have three different kinds of color support. The most common is 256 color where
-the terminal provides 256 standardized colors (except the first 16 may be configured
-by the user). A 256-color theme requires a terminal with 256 color support and
-is the most portable.
-
-A 16-color theme uses the 16 user-configurable colors (or 16 default colors on
-old terminals). These colorschemes are guranteed to work, but won't look great
-unless the 16 colors are configured to the user's liking. Using a 16-color theme
-will also preserve the terminal's theme because the terminal usually uses its 16
-colors for prompts or other coloring.
-
-Some terminals support "true color" with 16 million colors (using standard RGB values).
-There is no one standard for this color support among terminals so this method
-is not guaranteed to work. Usually truecolor must also be enabled by the user. The
-colorschemes using true color will look exactly as intended. If true color is not
-supported, a true color colorscheme will approximate its colors to 256-color.
+Micro comes with a number of colorschemes by default. The colorschemes that you
+can display will depend on what kind of color support your terminal has.

+Omit color-link default "[fg color],[bg color]" will make the background color match the terminal's, and transparency if set.
+
+Modern terminals tend to have a palette of 16 user-configurable colors (these
+colors can often be configured in the terminal preferences), and additional
+color support comes in three flavors.
+
+* 16-color: A colorscheme that uses the 16 default colors will always work but
+ will only look good if the 16 default colors have been configured to the
+ user's liking. Using a colorscheme that only uses the 16 colors from the
+ terminal palette will also preserve the terminal's theme from other
+ applications since the terminal will often use those same colors for other
+ applications. Default colorschemes of this type include `simple` and
+ `solarized`.
+
+* 256-color: Almost all terminals support displaying an additional 240 colors
+ on top of the 16 user-configurable colors (creating 256 colors total).
+ Colorschemes which use 256-color are portable because they will look the
+ same regardless of the configured 16-color palette. However, the color
+ range is fairly limited due to the small number of colors available.
+ Default 256-color colorschemes include `monokai`, `twilight`, `zenburn`,
+ `darcula` and more.
+
+* true-color: Some terminals support displaying "true color" with 16 million
+ colors using standard RGB values. This mode will be able to support
+ displaying any colorscheme, but it should be noted that the user-configured
+ 16-color palette is ignored when using true-color mode (this means the
+ colors while using the terminal emulator will be slightly off). Not all
+ terminals support true color but at this point most do. True color
+ support in micro is off by default but can be enabled by setting the
+ environment variable `MICRO_TRUECOLOR` to 1. In addition your terminal
+ must support it (usually indicated by setting `$COLORTERM` to `truecolor`).
+ True-color colorschemes in micro typically end with `-tc`, such as
+ `solarized-tc`, `atom-dark-tc`, `material-tc`, etc... If true color is not
+ enabled but a true color colorscheme is used, micro will do its best to
+ approximate the colors to the available 256 colors.
