Doesn't vim just specify the color number / index (0-7 / 0-15 / 0-255)
that it wants used for specific characters and then rely on the terminal
(emulator) to set the actual colors used for any given color number / index?

I don't think there is any (good*) way for vim to know that you're using
iTerm2 and adjust it's behavior accordingly. I think this is all in
iTerm2's control.

*Shell ~> vim may be able to deduce from the TERM environment variable
(and possibly answer back) what the terminal is. But there usually is
not a one-to-one correlation. Further many terminal emulators tend to
lie and say they are a different terminal; ANSI and VT100 are common. I
don't remember what iTerm2 does by default.
