@user45100 Or you can do one thing. Try to reduce opacity of image itself to 30-40 % and then add text with solid dark colors. Might Help!

Try this:


Add a mask/shape on top of the image with solid black color.
Reduce opacity of that mask/shape to around 20-30% so that your image is now visible.
Now try to add text over it and choose the color you want from the color palette.


It should look decent now.
