Is there any way, in my vimrc, to override the background setting of my colorscheme and force it to black? I'm looking for something like
set colorscheme=wombat256 override_background(black) so that whatever scheme I select, the background gets forced to black.

In Vim, if your color scheme supports both a light and dark mode, you switch between by using the command: set background=dark or set background=light . In Alacritty, you can define multiple color schemes and switch between them easily in the config file alacritty.
In Ubuntu make a file with the name . vimrc in your Home directory if it doesn't exist, add colorscheme pablo in it and save it. Now restart GVim. For Windows put this file with the name _gvimrc in C:/Documents and Settings/<your-username> .
Note, termguicolors is required for correct colors to be displayed when running Vim or Neovim in a terminal. It is not an option to have this unset, it is a requirement when in terminal mode otherwise the theme will not work.
colorscheme wombat256 highlight Normal guibg=black guifg=white set background=dark Tweak to taste :)
@edit: after reading you later comment I suspect you'll find you need to override more related highlight (group) background colors. It'll be clearest which ones, by reading the existing color schemes
