But `load-theme' has nothing to do with color themes - `load-theme' is about custom themes. It's unfortunate that when Emacs added themes it used the same word ("theme") that had already been used for color themes, as it has led to a fair amount of confusion. At least Emacs didn't try to call custom themes "color themes". See https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorThemes and https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CustomThemes.
