That's not documented in the online help for schemes, but probably is  
in printed materials referenced therein...

Background color

    In the table at the beginning of the entry, we characterize the  
background color as
    being white or black, although actually what we mean is light or  
dark because some of
    the schemes set background tinting.  We mean that "white"  
background schemes are
    suitable for printing.  Printers (both the mechanical ones and  
the human ones) prefer
    that you avoid dark backgrounds because of the large amounts of  
ink required and the
    corresponding problems with bleed-through.  On the other hand,  
dark backgrounds look
    good on monitors.

    In any case, you may change the background color of a scheme by  
using the region_options
    graphregion(fcolor()), graphregion(ifcolor()),  
plotregion(fcolor()), and
    plotregion(ifcolor()); see [G] region_options.  When overriding  
the background color,
    choose light colors for schemes that naturally have white  
backgrounds and dark colors
    for regions that naturally have black backgrounds.

    Schemes that naturally have a black background are by default  
printed in monochrome.
    See [G] set printcolor if you wish to override this.

    If you are producing graphs for printing on white paper, we  
suggest that you choose a
    scheme with a naturally white background.
