It's interesting to look at this list, then change backgrounds, and look at it again.
Each time, different ones are near invisible while others drill holes into your very soul... This seems like a great tool for advertisement makes to make sure they aren't searing any souls for the most popular backgrounds

It would be a great public service if someone who isn't as lazy as I am went through and at least notated the ones that don't disappear on either drake or parchment.
(if you use lime I'm assuming you enjoy retinal pain  )

Thanks, Impaled! I end up with black and purple as my only colors because I'm too lazy to research this stuff.

I love spreadsheets, so I made a spreadsheet. I've subjectively marked which colors are easily legible to me. This will vary somewhat from person to person, and from screen to screen. Also, just because something is legible doesn't mean it's a good idea. Fuscia on the Lime theme is a crime against nature! The number by each theme name is how many are marked as legible. Note that this isn't a good indicator of "score". For instance, on parchment, many of those marked legible are very close versions of white/off-white, so they wouldn't work for, say, distinguishing languages. The number on the last row is how many themes that color has been marked legible on. Safe colors, in other words.

I was bored again, a little, so I arranged and slightly edited the list of "safe" colors that are reasonably legible on every theme. I left near-duplicates, leave it up to the DM to pick the colors:
Medium violet red Deep pink Hot pink Pale violet red Fuchsia Magenta Orchid Medium orchid Dark orchid Blue violet Medium purple Medium slate blue Slate blue Light slate gray Slate gray Royal blue Dodger blue Cornflower blue Cadet blue Steel blue Teal Dark cyan Sea green Forest green Green Olive Olive drab Dark goldenrod Peru Sienna Brown Chocolate Indian red Firebrick Crimson Tomato Orange red Red
