You could of course group these two TabEnter autocommands into one,
making the result conceptually simpler at the cost of a longer
autocommand, as follows (assuming 'nocompatible' so continuation lines
work). I'm adding an additional autocommand though, to make it work even
with no :colorscheme statement in the vimrc (or in any custom global
plugin):

autocmd VimEnter * if !exists('g_colors_name')
\ | let g:colors_name = 'default'
\ | endif
autocmd ColorScheme * let t:colors_name = g:colors_name
autocmd TabEnter *
\ if exists('t:colors_name')
\ | if g_colors_name !=# t_colors_name
\ | exe 'colorscheme' t:colors_name
\ | endif
\ | else
\ | let t:colors_name = g:colors_name
\ | endif
