Huh, that is quite odd. Have you set tmux to true colour? If not that may be the issue, though I don't see why it would select those specific colours.

Incase you haven't, here's the configuration to do so. Place the following in your tmux.conf located at ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf or ~/tmux.conf

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

you should have to run tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf to get it to reload

You may also have to add the following to your nvim config:
set termguicolors

or set TERM to xterm-256color in your shell (example: export TERM="xterm-256color" for bash)

Though I doubt either are your problem.

Edit: fixed neovim configuration
- Thanks for helping. But No luck with those. Tried them all. vim said there's no option like "term". Other two doesnt work :(
  
  vim or neovim? what terminal emulator are you using? post your nvim init.lua file. try putting both of these in tmux.conf:
  
  set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
  
  set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:Tc"
  
  This is for alacritty terminal emulator + tmux + neovim but may help put you on the right track with whatever te u might be using:
  
  Ah shit, that sucks, sorry to hear.
  
  Sorry on that command if you're using lua to configure the correct setting should be
  
  vim.opt.termguicolors = true
  
  Or in your init.vim set termguicolors should work too. Apologies for messing up that last comment
  
  If you're still up to trying some stuff, last thing I can think of is tmux deciding not to take the setting. Forcing tmux to use true color may help with set -ag terminal-overrides ",$TERM:Tc" or launching with tmux -2 may help, you'll have to source the tmux config again of course. Also confirming that your terminal supports true color
