When I set specific background for a view mode, background 2 is selected as 'default' and it may look weird so I have to set background 2 color to same value that background color has (and I've to select color manually again)... Please add an item in drop-down list for using background1 color for background2 color.
BTW currently there is an inconsistency with background colors in main color setting page and in view modes page:
a) 'default' color for background2 in main color page means background1 color from main color page (near, on the same page)
b) 'default' color for background2 in view mode page means background1 color from main color page (far, global, not changeable here, from completely another page)
So it would be better IMHO to make 'default' setting for background2 on view mode page meaning background1 color from same page instead of adding new drop-down option.
Add 'same as background 1' for second view mode color

I use white as background 1 and a faint gray for background 2 in the main color page and I like to use that background 2 color on most View modes, also if I change background 1 in the View mode.So it would be better IMHO to make 'default' setting for background2 on view mode page meaning background1 color from same page instead of adding new drop-down option.
With your suggestion I have to go in and define the same gray color for background 2 every time I make a new View mode - your suggestion is good if you generally do not want alternating colors, but if you do want them it will be tedious.
So I think your suggestion with a "same as background 1" item is much better - otherwise with your alternative suggestion there should be an extra item: "same as main background 2" in stead.

As for me, I found it more logical to set custom color2 if one sets custom color1, but we all have different preferences.
So we need both 'as background 1' and 'as main background2' items, and the question is how these two should be named. As I wrote, I found current situation with 'default' item confusing and inconsistent, but I'll be fine with it if new item will be added. Perhaps it would be really better to rename 'default' item in main color settings page to 'as background1' too.
