How to fix Mocha invisible text on Solarized Dark iTerm2 theme

Question

I have this issue several times, the last thing I attempted was some patched solarized dark theme (that I can't seem to find, sorry for no link) but the problem with that was it made vim background really bright.

This problem was reported in 2011, so I'm guessing I'm just really bad at googling cause I can't find a solution (stumbled upon this about 5 times in the past year), nor an article about it from a recent date.

Does this problem even have a solution, if so, could you walk me through it?

This is a screenshot for those who doesn't know about this issue:

Answer 1

I found a quick hack for iTerm2 users, just increment the contrast a little bit.
