Switching background (set bg=dark vs set bg=light)

Did you try this?

autocmd OptionSet background
      \ execute 'source' globpath(&rtp, 'autoload/lightline/colorscheme/PaperColor.vim')
      \ | call lightline#colorscheme() | call lightline#update()

Thank you @itchyny. Indeed, the provided auto command solves the issue!

Would it be possible to include a generic form of this within the plugin itself?

No, not all user want to switch the lightline colorscheme based on the background, and not all colorscheme have both variants. Switching something automatically is surprising for most users, and there's a simple way of configuration here, that is enough.
