The option name 'guicolors' is totally confusing.
It should be renamed to 'termguicolors' or something else as discussed in
this thread: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/q2LuLFueRbE/discussion

I saw the E254 error even without setting 'guicolors', when I used
+termtruecolor enabled vim and rgb.txt was not installed. Colorscheme was desert.
Installing rgb.txt should fix the E254 error. However, I think it's better
to avoid E254 when 'guicolors' is not set and rgb.txt is not installed.
