Thanks Patrick, The problem seems to be that iTerm sets the environment variable "COLORFGBG" which Vim picks up on and changes 'background' to "dark" automatically (Terminal does not set that variable). It is possible to work around this issue by resetting that variable before launching MacVim, e.g.: export COLORFGBG= I won't do anything about this, since it apparently is a "feature" of Vim (just like the feature where Vim will take on the dimensions of the terminal window you launched it from, even when using a GUI [which I find kind of weird]).
