Color schemes with colorcolumn support?

Anyone know any good color schemes with colorcolumn support? Most vim
color schemes seem to have been written before the colorcolumn option
was added, and the colorcolumn tends to show in a color that clashes
really badly with the rest of the theme (e.g. bright red).

I have a lot of Vim themes installed, and by the test of grepping my
colors dir for colorcolumn I found only these ones that seem to define a
color for it (admittedly this test may give false negatives):

Dark:

jellybeans
codeschool
distinguished
vividchalk

Light: mayansmoke

Supports both dark or light:

hemisu

base16: There's a lot of variations of this theme, unfortunately they
don't seem to work at all in my terminal Vim.

From what I've seen so far, Hemisu is pretty good, I recommend it.

An alternative solution would be to set the color of the colorcolumn
based on some other color from the theme, so it works with themes that
don't know about colorcolumn. Set it to the highlight current line
color, which a lot more themes seem to have, or to the background color
but 10% darker or lighter. I don't know how to do either of these things
though.
