May 15, 2020 at 17:22 comment added StoneThrow Some interesting results here: if I set xterm-256color and add those two lines (with semicolons instead of colons) and comment-out set termguicolors, the background is rendered a light gray (instead of purple). If I uncomment set termguicolors, then I get the mixed purple/black background rendering. If I set xterm-true-color, with termguicolors and those two lines, I get the mixed purple/black background, and without termguicolors, I get total B&W rendering.

May 15, 2020 at 4:25 comment added StoneThrow Ah! Getting close! I manually did export TERM=xterm-true-color, then re-ran vim, and now the background color where text is present looks the right color -- but it looks like TAB whitespace and anything past EOL is still black.
May 15, 2020 at 4:20 comment added StoneThrow Doing this gave me a B&W colorscheme. This is a little bit outside my expertise, but I tried to read up on your answer, so now I think this is because my Terminal (MobaXTerm, ssh session to a Linux box) is setting xterm-256color -- do you think that's why? Also, I didn't quite understand the quote "reading xterm-true-color might help" -- does that mean I should set $TERM to xterm-true-color instead of xterm-256color?
