Background is getting set to 'light'

[sum01]

:verbose set background?

background=light                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
      Last set from ~/.config/nvim/plugged/vim-monokai/colors/monokai.vim

Previously the background was set to dark, which I think looks much better. Doing

colorscheme monokai
set background=dark

causes very weird coloration after reopening Neovim.

Someone on Gitter mentioned it having something to do with the Normal setting, but I'm clueless on how that works.

EDIT: It seems that https://github.com/viniciusban/vim-monokai/commit/ccf64ba420813f49ead45ef47c0ac6ccdf2a6187 fixes this issue for me, specifically this line https://github.com/viniciusban/vim-monokai/commit/ccf64ba420813f49ead45ef47c0ac6ccdf2a6187#diff-1086d27abfd7189ca65d49e9b001ceffR31

I couldn't replicate the issue using Neovim 0.6. Does the problem still appear while using this colorscheme?

Not sure. I don't use this theme or even the same terminal anymore.
