They went the opposite way with the Black theme by making it way too contrasty by using white text. On the Black theme a light grey text with dark grey background would be better on my eyes. As it is now I get the venetian blinds effect when using the Black theme.

I agree about uselessness of dark brown/green text vs. black text.
I read with Black theme pretty much all of the time, and agree it is just a bit too white sometimes, but I like it far better than White theme. It turns out if you go to Settings app, General/Accessibility/Display Accommodations has something called Reduce White Point. I turned it on at 25% (lowest setting) and it does seem to reduce the harshness, without too much impact to contrast or overall appearance. I plan to try it for awhile to see if I like it.
