The "Google Recaptcha 2" has the ability to swap between "light" & "dark" theme. Currently there are no option to change this, and I can't say light one looks very good on dark themes.
I hope to see a option swapping between dark & light via ACP easily without editing any core code.
Here is a picture of how the dark one will look like:

Using a custom theme means you already have customized the templates. So chaning the recaptcha template should be no big deal. Furthermore I would not consider template changes 'core changes'. A proper design of the captchas is the job of a theme designer, and not a question of configuration.
Therefore: unnecessary.

Can you explain how a theme developer would change this then? From what I know, themes has nothing to do with how the recaptcha looks. This is changed within the captcha code it self, nothing to do with CSS etc.
Yep, 2.0 will have special captcha templates too.
This is your solution, 6 years late, but it may help someone,
You have add this to post_captcha_nocaptcha
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-size="compact" data-theme="dark" data-sitekey="{$public_key}"></div>
essentially you are setting the dark theme.
