KDE with SDDM, Vim Warning: Color name "BACKGROUND" is not defined

Just completed a new build with KDE Plasma, and this time instead of using an .xinitrc with export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma and exec startplasma-x11 to automatically start I instead installed SDDM. I don't think I did much else very different, but maybe? I mention this because I suspect it is behind why whenever I run vim in konsole when I exit I get

Warning: Color name "BACKGROUND" is not defined

which never happened in my previous build.

I saw something about editing .Xresources but I don't have that file and did not have one in my old build, so it seems like the issue would be elsewhere.

Also I tried vim on a non-GUI tty and did not get the same warning.
