+#### Segments are printed in strange colors
+
+Besides of choosing the right color scheme for your terminal editor, you should
+be aware that your terminal is capable of displaying 256 colors. You can check
+that by invoking `echotc Co` in your terminal. It should show 256. If it shows
+less than that, you have to set a terminal that is capable of displaying 256
+colors like `xterm-256color` in your `~/.zshrc`:
