Excellent post, Dominik and thanks for the answer Greg.
Along these lines, I have another question. How can you easily
get the "opposite" color for the background color? In other words,
how do we get the best contrasting color for a given background
color?
That's not quite the same thing. The opposite of red is green, but
red on green is unreadable to color-blind people, and red on white
or black looks more contrasted to anyone. For text, I'd just take
the color's brightness, and use black if it's above 50%, otherwise
white. You might want to adjust the threshold depending on which of
the two colors is going to be the background.
Actually, the color complement to red is cyan, not green.
