I'm very much a light-text-on-dark-background person myself, and yes, the 
general backgrounds, menu text color, etc, are controlled via (gtk) 
desktop color theme.

In fact, many of the (mostly text/foreground) color options pan has are a 
result of the originally hard-coded colors being unreadable and thus 
unworkable on a generally light-on-dark color theme like mine, when I 
(being a long-time pan user, since late 2001 or early 2002) complained as 
the various features and thus their in-GUI hard-coded colors were 
introduced.

The result is that by now, between the theme colors and the pan-
customizable colors, pretty much every color pan uses is configurable in 
one way or another.

FWIW, I'm a kde/plasma desktop user myself, and its color options config 
has an option to apply the same theme to non-kde apps as well.  I'm not 
sure what other than gtk that applies to, but that's the way I configured 
the not-pan-customizable pan colors to my preferred light-on-dark, here.
