The Cream color system is different than Vim's, which explains both
why they don't show up in the same menu and why they aren't retained.
We also use "Themes" to imply that more is happening than just a Vim
color.

Most of this is currently hard coded, so that Cream color additions
are properly handled. You can open cream-colors-default.vim to see
what we change from the default. Also coordinated is the selection
color, which is done in cream-colors.vim.

The short version is that you'll have to hack things yourself to get
it to work. Maybe one of these days we'll get/write a patch that
o Auto-finds and menus all available Cream color theme in
  $CREAM/colors/
o Determines whether a theme is light or dark.
o Sets sane defaults if a theme is missing some component.
