Never mind, I couldn't find anything yesterday but found some code today
after some carefully worded googling, which appears to work well.

 

  RGB := ColorToRGB(BackColor);

  if (GetRValue(RGB) + GetGValue(RGB) + GetBValue(RGB)) > 384 then

    Font.Color := clBlack

  else

    Font.Color := clWhite;

I'm hoping someone may have a routine which determines if the font colour
should be black or white depending on the colour of the component.

 

I have buttons which the user can choose the colour, but black text on a
dark colour can't be seen.

 

Cheers.
