All vector icons in Android are white by default (generated by Google Fonts or Vector Assets), but have a tint set to ?attr/colorControlNormal. When we look at asset previews, Android Studio doesn't render this tint, it just uses the base color. In the Dark theme it looks fine, but I'm using a Light theme and the icons are indistinguishable on a light background. How can I change the color of this background in Android Studio without resorting to changing the color in the icons themselves?

From version 1.5.0 of Core library it is pretty simple to change navigation icons color to dark using this code in your activity:
WindowInsetsControllerCompat(window, window.decorView).isAppearanceLightNavigationBars = true
But be aware that dark navigation icons are supported only from Android 8.0 (API level 26). On lower OS versions you should keep navigation bar color darker, to keep navigation icons visible.
In Darcula, when the font color is also dark - as in the green below - then it is hard to read against the pitch black background and bugs hide in the undergrowth.
Is there a way to change the background from pitch black to a lighter shade, for example gray (without the glare from the default theme)?
Go to Settings > Editor > Color scheme > General
Select Text > Default text
Change background color from the right panel
As La Bla Bla suggested, you can customise the theme in settings.
