Those are good examples. Note that this applies to more cases than those relying on transparency or patterns: color terms often have defaults that are not identical to their ANSI palette. I suspect *most* themes are probably this way, based on a quick sampling. You can see a bunch of examples here: https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes#screenshots in all the themes where the background color in the "40m" column isn't the same as the unset column before it. (All of Terminal.app's built-in themes are that way; I know xterm defaults to black on white vs white on black; and so on).
