Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/35

When I launch a script that generate output with many colors, asciiio records my screen and all is ok: http://ascii.io/a/5423

But, if I use the -c option with the same command, colors are good in my screen but weird in ascii.io: http://ascii.io/a/5424

I double check my colors and all seemed ok.

I do a very little script to test:

#!/bin/sh

echo -e "\033[44;37;1mFoo\033[0m"
echo "Bar"

without -c: http://ascii.io/a/5421
with -c: http://ascii.io/a/5422

@marmotz I checked all 4 asciicasts and it seems the problem is gone now, the colors look good imho. It was fixed in a recent update to the player. If you still think sth is wrong just reopen the issue.
