How about --dark-bg and --light-bg, or something similar?
OK with me.

We don't have medium-background in any defface's I've seen...
It is a matter of selecting a set of appropriate faces. Since I use
white as a foreground for characters, and my background is `darkblue',
I thought I was using a dark background, but gnus did not think so;
hence my discussion with Lars back in 1995.
Here is what I ended up with:
First, I set gnus-background-mode to dark, to override whatever it
generated; then I set gnus-face-dark-name-list like this:
;; dark blue --> cyan
;; firebrick --> firebrick
;; dark green --> MediumSpringGreen
;; dark orange --> OrangeRed
;; dark khaki --> khaki
;; dark violet --> violet
;; dark turquoise --> turquoise
(This works well enough, but a more expert user interface person would
doubtless choose better colors.)
