I'm using css to emboss text with this:

text-shadow: black 1px 1px 5px;


My site uses different font colors and background colors. I was wondering how I can choose the "best" embossing color based on the color of the font and background color of the text.

If you are trying to replicate blind embossing (no ink) then the text color would match the the background. Give a dark SE shadow and a white NW shadow to give it a raised effect.

Otherwise, the text color can be whatever you want provided it's darker than your dark shadow and lighter than your highlight 'shadow'.
