IIRC, some colorschemes set the default Normal highlighting background
to a high color term value. This usually resets the background option.
(There is a bug report about it in the todo list and I think I even made
a patch some time ago), so I usually just reset the background after
setting the color scheme.

However the colorscheme could still look quite different, if your
terminal only has support for 16 or 88 colors or the colorscheme author
did not bother to find good terminal color approximations for gui RGB
colors. (The cs_approx plugin should help here, as you probably know).
