    If you have to generate random colors for background and foreground there is any way to check them to be sure that the result will be readable. I would like to eliminate those combinations that are close so the result will be hard to read.. Thanks Florian Szoke

        Take a look at this site for basic color theory. http://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html Google for color wheel and you will get some more sites that give breakdowns of “web safe” and “web smart” colors. There is a pattern to follow which will become apparent when you look at the RGB breakdown. Complementary colors usually are good for text and background combinations. I'm on-line therefore I am.

          He meant another solution than hiring someone to sit next to you and changing the back/foreground colors of they happen to not be readable. :rolleyes: Anyway, an application where colors are randomly chosen seems weird. ~RaGE();
