Additional Things to Consider
Accessibility
You need to be sure your content is as accessible to all users as possible.
Though we offer you a choice of headline colors, not every text color will work well with every background image and color overlay.
Keep in mind you also want provide as much contrast as possible between background and text color for readability and accessibility purposes.
