We recommend dark colors for text/names and light-medium colors for names/motifs.
Please remember that colors may vary depending on the display settings of your monitor.  Also, color may appear differently from larger motifs to text, as seen here.  If you need to match a color exactly, we suggest getting a Pantone Uncoated swatch book and we will give you the corresponding Pantone color numbers.  We have attempted to preview all colors as accurately as possible.
