Terminals dont set colors, applications do. I suggest reporting the
issue to micro. Most likely it will be micro failing to detect that
kitty supports truecolors. Make sure your TERM is correct.

Ok, I figured out what the problem is. Apparently, between two updates, kitty seems to have dropped support / started to use some unsupported feature for my OpenGL version (3.1 pretending to be 3.3). This causes the background color to not show up. I would downgrade, but the working version uses python 3.9 specifically, not python3, so initialization fails. |

As a follow-up (since I now switched back to kitty, as wezterm has gotten too laggy to be useful for quick switching), @kovidgoyal is there a way to tell kitty to use the software renderer? While it does use more CPU, that is a tradeoff I'm willing to make. |
