Emacs Theme Colors are wrong

I installed Emacs and want to get the atom.io theme, like here: GitHub

The colors should be: Theme Preview

And now here is a Screenshot how my colors are looking: My Emacs

I also have atom.io installed and the Preview of the sample is correct. Here is my atom.io screenshot: my atom.io shot

Finally, my .emacs config file:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(load-theme 'atom-one-dark t)
(require 'powerline)
(powerline-default-theme)
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(custom-safe-themes
   (quote
    ("90d329edc17c6f4e43dbc67709067ccd6c0a3caa355f305de2041755986548f2" "b9c57187960682d4$
 '(desktop-save-mode 1)
 '(global-hl-line-mode 1)
 '(global-linum-mode 1))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

Why are the colors different at my Emacs? Can this be cause i have the wrong color setup? or why could it be wrong?

I ran into the same issue, it seems to be a common for Mac users. I found some help on the issues section on the GitHub page of a similar theme, dracula. I followed apierz's fixes to correct the colors on my terminal.

From comparing the dracula theme code with the atom one theme, you can see that both themes use a background of hex color #282*. Basically we need to change the hex color of the background to something more compatible.

Comment out this line of code in your atom-one-theme.el file, and add another one with a color value of nil.

;;; Code:

(deftheme atom-one-dark
  "Atom One Dark - An Emacs port of the Atom One Dark theme from Atom.io.")
(defvar atom-one-dark-colors-alist
  '(("atom-one-dark-accent"   . "#528BFF")
    ("atom-one-dark-fg"       . "#ABB2BF")
;;    ("atom-one-dark-bg"       . "#282C34")
    ("atom-one-dark-bg"       . nil

This should make your background the same color as your terminal window. Since I have a similar background color to #282C34, mine ends up looking a lot like Atom One Dark Theme.

Alternatively, you can set the background color to #000000 (black), however I didn't find it to look too attractive.

Shoutout to apierz for originally posting the fix on GitHub!
