+ 'background' option will be adjusted automatically, under the
+ condition that the color is recognized and 'background' was not set
+ explicitly. This causes the highlight groups that depend on
+ 'background' to change! This means you should set the colors for
+ Normal first, before setting other colors.
When a colorscheme is being used, changing 'background' causes it to
be reloaded, which may reset all colors (including Normal). First
delete the "g:colors_name" variable when you don't want this.
