Design Tip - No.1

We often use a lighter shade of grey on white backgrounds, to de-emphasize text etc. However to achieve the same effect on colored backgrounds, you should make the text color closer to the background color instead. Also make sure to pick a solid color and not just a transparent white, since transparent white can make it look dull and doesn’t work on textured backgrounds.
I actually like to always use colored text when working with color backgrounds.
