Hi there,
It seems Emacs is assuming background types (dark or light) according to
terminal types.
Now I have one terminal screen-256color. Emacs thinks it is dark
background when it is actually light background. How can I correct this?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Only on character (i.e. text-mode) terminals, since there's no
standard API to query them for their default background color.

I think you want to customize the variable frame-background-mode,
which see.

Can I make Emacs automatically examine the brightness?

Like I said above: we don't know about any standard API to do that on
a tty. If you do, please tell Emacs developers about such an API.
