Could you try to set background color light in both terminal and iterm?

In Vim, : set background=light

or you can add

set background=light

in your .vimrc

Also, unchecking "Draw bold text in bright colors" might fix the issue.

Some vim colorschemes, including the default, take the terminal's color palette as default color values. However, if you use a colorscheme with full 256 color support, I believe there's a 256 colorscheme for the default as well, the issue disappears.

Here's a photo with desert (non-256) as a colorscheme between iTerm and Terminal:

And here's a photo with jellybeans (256):
