I'm developing a program that has both a dark and a light theme. I change the background, but there are color-coordinated labels that I don't want to change the color of.

At the moment I'm using the following. It's okay, but the blue, green, and yellow is a bit hard to read against the white/light gray background. (They will all appear on be on both row colors.)





Yellow: #FFD300 , Red: #FF4C4C , Green: #3FB63F , Blue: #53ACE4


I could blindly play around with it until I found something marginally better, but I'd love to know if there was some graphic design standard I should be aware of.

Thanks!
