Using a dark interface to retouch photos can therefore lead to excessive retouching (abuse of contrast and saturation) and to a photo that is too dark when printed. It is therefore highly recommended that you use one of the "grey" themes for retouching work as these are designed so that the user interface approximates middle gray (default "darktable-elegant-grey").
