Pablo,
Do you mean that hi Ignore ctermfg=black does not change the
foreground color of the tokens to black? What happens if you
execute...
hi Ignore ctermfg=black
...in a standard Vim help buffer? You will get "E421: Color name or
number not recognized" if the specified color is not supported by your
cterm. Or were you simply saying that black is not always the correct
background color?

With the GUI, the background color is always known by Vim: thus, no
workaround is required for any colorscheme, since the plugin can
always do this:
:hi Ignore ctermfg=bg
With a cterm, however, Vim has no way of knowing the background color
unless the colorscheme sets the Normal background color explicitly:
e.g.,
:hi Normal ctermbg=<some_color>
Some of the colorschemes contain this sort of explicit set of Normal
background color, but many simply leave it at the terminal's default.
If you want to use such a colorscheme in a color terminal, you will
have to determine the correct background color through visual
inspection. Having done that, you can either set the Ignore group's
ctermfg to match the observed background color (workaround #1) or
explicitly set the Normal group's ctermbg to match the observed
background color (workaround #2). Unfortunately, the plugin can't
determine the background color automatically, since Vim itself doesn't
know...
