Hehe... Yes maybe, but actually I like the dark (not black) 
backgrounds. Especially on C and C++, since it allows you to use both 
black and white as highlight colors for syntax :-).

Yes but making those global can easily interfere with different 
languages. Of course if ALL your highlights use a black-on-white 
approach, maybe not... but then you want a teal background and some 
syntax highlight uses it as a foreground, etc. A more feasible 
approach, I think, is to make colors for syntax highlight in general 
more "global" in the sense that you can gather (named) colors in one 
place, and use them in all highlight bundles. I believe something like 
that (although not necessarily in that form) is on the idea-board for 
SyntaxHighlight-ng™.
