White text is generally a safe choice, but it's essential to check the contrast ratio using accessibility tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker. Aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to comply with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) AA standards.

Consider providing alternative color schemes to accommodate users with specific visual needs.
