:set background additionally acts like `:colorscheme default`. If you
call :colorscheme after this it is up to the colorscheme itself to
(dis)respect &background setting. If you need colors like with `set
background=light` do `set background=light` in the vimrc *and* remove
`:colorscheme desert` call.
