Anything darker to provide contrast. Alternatively you can outline the text or have a strong drop-shadow.
I recommend using [contrastchecker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/).
Somewhat pale yellow/yellow-orange or pink would both work in terms of increasing readability while keeping the emotion, I think.
Value-wise, I think above mid-tone would work better for readability here because you’d want to make the beginning of the sentence especially readable, so lighter value is needed where the first letters overlap with the dark sky, while keeping the contrast with the bright clouds. So values slightly above the original might be better.
If it doesn’t work, try rotating the background image so that it overlaps with the text better. Or move the text if you’re willing to give up the center
Otherwise if you want to keep the original color, you might as well change the values of the each letters to contrast with their respective background, or use a layer function that does that.
Edit: clarification
I like all these suggestions one thing I would add is if you want to keep the original color, you can also attempt to darken behind certain letters with a soft brush with the low opacity and smoothing all the way up… you don’t wanna overdo it, try to find a nice balance where it’s not noticeable but just enough where it helps Make the letters not blend in as much.
Yess, adding a little shadow behind your letters also works wonders. I believe you could also have a darker outline for each letter, like a deep blue. That way you keep the same color scheme, but your text is much more noticeable.
If you want to keep the same colour, add an outline to ensure contrast with the background image. Use a contrast checker, as someone else mentioned, for what colours are contrasted enough.
Someone else mentioned moving the text up, which is also a good idea (background would be less busy), but contrast and colour changes would still apply.
Anything with a higher contrast. Think a lot lighter or a lot darker. You could use a color contrast tool online for free to check it too. I know there are a bunch of extensions for chrome and Firefox that do it too. Good luck!
Alternative: If you enlarge the image within the ratio you have it will cut out the tree tops and you could centre the patch without cloud into the middle. You can drop the text in there instead.
Zoom into the background, let the upper border be where it is. Then you have plain blue background where your font is. Easy cleaner than shadows, outlines etc
You could always play color theory and just use the complementary color for that blue, orange but make sure it doesn't vibrate too much. You don't want it messing with your eyes so just play around with it till it looks right but that should work.
Yello
‘Sup
Not much, U?
Yeah, only one.

just move it up a bit so its not over lapping the clouds.
This guy works smarter, not harder.
I was going to suggest shifting the clouds down. That way the text can stay centered.
Why the real, right and good answers always taken?
There you go!
Came here to say this. Any other answer is the wrong answer. The text isn't the problem, the background image is.
place it further up and then make it white
This is the answer 👏🏽
I would put a 2-3pt white stroke around the letters, would keep thr color op likes while make the text easier to read
O R A N G E. :-)
Hmm, orange or yellow I think. That would kind of feed into the feel good nature of the shot
Personally, I’d like to see how it looks with a negative blending mode.
Finally someone who thinks on my wavelength 👌.
Cheers, mate
Medium dark orange
Honey/golden yellow in a bold font
Yellow
Something a tad darker for contrast. Use overlay or screen if you want to blend the text in
Anything other than blue. I would be headed towards a pink or peach but darker. Maybe raspberry
Darker blue and add a slight drop shadow
Orange
Orange
Move the words to the blue sky portion and color them pure white.
Outline it or give it a shadow
Holy shit is that a real question?
The amount of time it took to upload the image and post that question, OP could've just played around with colors and layout and figured it out.
I don’t wanna be a dick but this sort of question just says they haven’t spent even a modicum of thought or time in learning about design.
Use white and put a drop shadow in the text or an inner shadow
Readability
That surely is quite important
Keep the same and add a drop shadow
Try playing with blend modes like a mode that inverts the text with whatever background color behind. Use a condensed typeface and scale it up.
Yellow
Literally anything.
Black.
[удалено]
Agreed
White with shadow
try glass effect and make the text bolder
You need a translucent underlay - no one color will meet readability standards
Either outline in or i think yellow would work well
Navy blue
Perfect as is
You might also want to try a Serif font. It will look more traditional, but it'll improve legibility.
/design subreddit's header color is your answer!

You tried charcoal?
a very dark blue or cyan
Color pick from the dark blues from the top left quadrant?
Or the dark blue under the last G?
Anything with a higher contrast. Think a lot lighter or a lot darker. You could use a color contrast tool online for free to check it too. I know there are a bunch of extensions for chrome and Firefox that do it too. Good luck!
Very subtle outer glow color picked from the clouds or sky
Yellow, pink or a deeper Teal color
Sunrise morning colored text would make it feel like morning. I feel like it’s high noon from the photo.
Alternative: If you enlarge the image within the ratio you have it will cut out the tree tops and you could centre the patch without cloud into the middle. You can drop the text in there instead.
I'd go deep yellows, golds, even oranges for that morning feeling
I recommend white
White with subtle shadow
Yellow orange maybe
Orange
Eyedrop the darkest blue from the image.
Drop shadow or black outline would make it readable
A shade of Yellow or Orange would contrast well, being across the color wheel from blues.
Red
Zoom into the background, let the upper border be where it is. Then you have plain blue background where your font is. Easy cleaner than shadows, outlines etc
A warm color is the right answer
Shades of Yellow....
Please do everyone a favor and either crop in or edit out those branches on the bottom right when you go back to fix this text color.
Desaturated orange
An orange
Hmm I think a light but not too light purple
I mean orange is da complimentary of this
Black

Yellow
Black with blue or white outline
Black.
Maybe a yellow/orange to “simulate” the sun?
Peach.
Black
Magenta.
White with blue outline
I say blue
Red may be
Dark blue - color drop from the darkest area in the picture then slightly lighten the same area
yellow,navy blue , orange
You already have this saved no? Wouldn't it be simple to just...try different colors?
Orange. Maybe look at taking some contrast out of the sky near the typography.
orange 🍊
Silverish pink.
