OK, by the way
frame-background-mode's value is dark
Documentation:
*The brightness of the background.
Set this to the symbol `dark' if your background color is dark, `light' if
your background is light, or nil (default) if you want Emacs to
examine the brightness for you. Don't set this variable with `setq';
this won't have the expected effect.
The docs should show us how to set it if not with setq.
Maybe (custom-set-variables '(frame-background-mode 'dark))
Ok, say so.
Also where to obtain the results of Emacs' said evaluation should be
mentioned.
