Too bad it looks like grasshopper vomit.įinally, keep in mind that any of the above versions will look very close to the grayscale version under certain kinds of colorblindness (dyschromatopsia and achromatopsia). IMO, the second version (slightly desaturated) isn't overwhelming and the text contrast is acceptable. Without the color saturation, the white and black text are too similar to the background, so they will be difficult and/or tiresome to read.

But that color as a full page background would be overwhelming. The white and black text are acceptably readable (to me, at least). See this paletton, and imagine it with a heavier font: The right orange (and many other hues) can pull that off.

There probably isn't a background color to solve that problem, so let's address the more interesting question.Ī background color that goes with both black and white foreground text color. I'll withold judgement until I actually see an image or link to your design, but it sounds like you're already trying to mix oil and water.

Colors that don't go with black color background are not visible. Foreground light blue, white, gray, yellow color texts are present.
