There are 4 colors taking effect, two for "normal" font and two for "highlight" (i.e. selected menu option) font. In normal font, background is usually transparent. With your splash image I assume foreground would be white, but this does apply to the window borders too (in your example they're black). Would that be a problem? In highlight font, I think you used white as foreground but I'm not sure what color did you use as background (dark-gray?). Keep in mind you can't use any color, for now you can only choose from the 16 color palette. But if it's important, I can improve the code that has this limitation.
