The "VT102" emulation refers to compatibility wrt escape sequences (basically some variation of ANSI), not to the appearance. Anyway, VT100 [1] was most probably dark background by default; that said, you probably could change it. Perhaps there's even an ANSI escape sequence for this, but it, uh... escapes me currently ;-) I'm sure there is a way to configure MATE terminal's colours to your heart's content (me? I'm an Xterm fanboi ;-) Have a look at this [2], it seems promising. Search for "Customize Terminal" [3].
