Design guru advice required

[englishpremier]

Ok design gurus, can anyone recommend a font colour that would work well with a purple background (#520659)?

I've tried white, and some light shades of grey but there is too much contrast, and the darker colours i've tried aren't easily visible.

An idea for an accent colour would be great too.

I don't really have an eye for these things.

Thanks

Have you tried looking at yellows, they can look good on a purple background.

Try using this site, I find it great for selecting complementary colours...

But as above, yellows are good. Also oranges, light blues or light greens even would be nice

It's helpful for finding complimentary as well as accented colours.
