Bottom Line Up Front
The following colors are legible on all currently available skins/themes (which are Default, LBT, and Camel):
TEAL / TEAL BOLD
That's it! Other than the default text color (which shows as either black or white, depending on which theme is used), TEAL is the only text color that displays legibly on all three themes.
A few colors were not horrible, but not great. They would probably be safe to use if you made the text bold:
BROWN BOLD
GREEN BOLD
ORANGE BOLD
