For themes where there is a need for darker or lighter depending on the intent of the theme, rather than being specific in a confusing manner  - ie actually using #darker etc - might it help to refer to something on a different axis? For example #stronger & #softer could be used in a bright or a dark theme to refer to the progression of colour without any reliance on the specific theme needs. Sort of an abstraction of intent. Give a theme a collection of colours and set the middle as 'normal'. Or have an algorithm specific to the theme. Or both, depending on the nice new Chronology state :-)
