It should use a light green when Vim is using :set bg=dark and a dark
green for :set bg=light Are you sure, nothing is resetting the
background setting afterwards? If I do
vim -u NONE -N --cmd 'set bg=dark'
and then :hi MoreMsg I get this
MoreMsg xxx term=bold ctermfg=121 gui=bold guifg=SeaGreen
while with this:
vim -u NONE -N --cmd 'set bg=light'
I see
MoreMsg xxx term=bold ctermfg=2 gui=bold guifg=SeaGreen
(and each time, the 'xxx' are colored slightly different)

I think the point is, when starting up. you won't be able to reconfigure
Vim to use a different color other then the compiled in ones, unless you
use some hacks with --cmd=':colors colorscheme' or so
(I am not sure, if setting 'bg' early in your .vimrc might make a
difference).

I thought, you can configure, what colors it uses for e.g. a darkgreen
or lightgreen (e.g. ctermcolor 2 and 121).

Best,
