If you run `set -U` on each system and compare the output are they truly
the same? Also, "xterm" only supports eight colors. Fish has a heuristic to
treat that as "xterm-256color" in certain situations but I don't recall off
the top of my head if iTerm2 on macOS is one of them. In any case for the
benefit of your other programs you should `set -gx TERM xterm-256color`.
Try some controlled experiments such as

echo (set_color -b white green)hello(set_color normal)

 Do you see the same green text on a white background on both systems?
