Click "Launch ColorMatch Remix" on the right-hand side. Then scroll down to the Options section and put your hexadecimal color in. It will give you a range of colors and show how some of them look at background and font colors. You can use the RGB slider at the top as well.

I'm looking for a way to determine, for lack of better terms, the darkness/lightness of a particular hex color, so as to determine whether to use light or dark text above it so that the text doesn't get lost in the color beneath. Any nudges in the right direction (custom tag, algorithm, etc.) would simply rock.
