I want to show a menu with indented items on top of a black background. I tried a lot of colors but can't find the right ones.

I'm using css property text-shadow:

text-shadow: 1px 1px #191919 , -1px -1px #444 ;

Here is a screenshot for a better understanding:

I'm not satisfied and I'm pretty sure that there is better... Any suggestion please?

The shadow looks more like a broken stroke and it interferes with the letterforms. I would probably go with a softer shadow with more spread, or a band such as the one that Lollero mentioned in a comment.

Using four shadows instead of two may give a better approximation of an outline effect, if that's what you want:

text-shadow: 0 -1px #000 , 1px 0 #000 , 0 1px #000 , -1px 0 #000;

A bit surprisingly, it turns out that the W3C actually recommend this hack in their CSS examples.
