':set bg=light/dark' won't change the background color, but selects 
a syntax color map more suitable for a light/dark background.
This means that you have to ':set bg=dark' to tell vim that you
are working on a black console and would like to use the appropriate
color map for a dark background.
To take effect, syntax highlighting must be switched on once again 
after setting bg in vim command mode. Or put 'set bg=dark' into 
your .vimrc file.
