Description

Just have a look at the screenshots

Before:

2 0 5

After:

2 0 6

You can have a look at my dotfiles https://github.com/sblask/dotfiles for details about my setup. I use xterm and tmux, the most relevant things regarding colors are probably in .Xresources.symlink and base16-eighties-modified.vim

Research direction

Start by reproducing completion display in IPython or ptpython with the reported jump from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6, using xterm and tmux. Inspect .Xresources.symlink and base16-eighties-modified.vim in the linked dotfiles for the color setup; done means completions are readable again after the upgrade.
