It can be pretty hard to read some colors when you're writing here on the forums or the mod repository. If you want to be a hundred percent sure that everyone will be able to read, then just use font sizes, bold & italics. if you're still going to use colors then make sure people can read them on both white & black.

I personally tend to use dark orange colors since they fit well both with white and black backgrounds
