IMHO, this is not the time to make such changes. As Miles pointed out, these issues tend to generate prolonged disputes with characteristic difficulties to reach a consensus. Also, changing a bunch of face colors tends to prompt many other color-related changes, which spread like a cancer. Why start that now? Especially since, as your other message shows, it might be tricky to even agree on what is ``light'' and what is ``dark''.
