If there is, I haven't found it. Even going so far as to install color
sets which are supposed to be similar for both GUI and terminal they don't
match up.

Which is all fine and good. However, what I am seeing is a complete
difference between GUI and terminal colors on a base install. Additional
colors aren't that big of a problem.
For example I load some sample Python code into vim and kgim (gvim didn't
start for some reason). Here's the differences:
vim kvim
comments: cyan dark grey
import: dark blue light green
keywords: yellow yellow (shocker!)
quoted: purple cyan
normal: white white
No changes from defaults yet aside keywords and normal text there isn't
even a passing resemblance between the two.

Trust me, I would if it were just some stupid toggle. However, GUI vim is
not so important to me to have to go through and twiddle with a dozen or so
settings minimum just to get modes to compare. Who knows, it might just work
for one mode and not another. It just boggles me that on a default install
the base color maps should not match up with one another on more than 60-70%
of the mappings (at first glance). That's the killer, I like the defaults for
the terminal and only want the GUI to match. It doesn't seem unreasonable to
ask that on a default install they do just that.
