What do you mean by this?
When you have an opaque bar of a solid color
("pygame.draw.rect(surface, (255,0,0), (rect), 1)") then it looks
red. If you put it over a black background, the pixels look darker.
If I compensate by making all the pixels there somewhat lighter,
lighter colored objects, such as asteroids will look wrong.
That's not what I was suggesting.I meant, if you had a (150,0,0) and it looked wrong, change it to (190,0,0) or something before blitting.
I didn't mean to change the colors of everything after blitting. Basically just use brighter colors. But if you were already using 255, obviously you can't use brighter colors.
Anyway, after I looked at the somewhat darker rectangle for a while, it began looking right. It was just a change from the (255,0,0) bar to something like (150,0,0), which is how it should be.Yep. It probably just looked strange because you were used to seeing the opaque version.
The color you're using is a brighter color, so if you're alpha
blending
it then it'll make everything you're blending that's darker than it
brighter.

Do you mean a brighter background?
Yes.
