As the author of Leuven-theme, I confirm I do have the following line in
it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   `(default ((,class (:foreground "#333333" :background "#FFFFFF"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

IOW, I put the default face in gray20, and reserve full black for bold:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   `(bold ((,class (:weight bold :foreground "black"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I could remove the "white" background, but the colors are really
customized for a light background.

As I don't use myself anything other than white background, I won't be
of any help here.

But you could always fork my project at
https://github.com/fniessen/emacs-leuven-theme, and try to fix the
colors which aren't compatible with a dark background.

Best regards,
Fabrice
