Is there a simple way to randomize color of text and background of a field

First I think you will have to decide for yourself which combinations are
not readable.
Hello,
I agree that you need to decide in advance what constitutes acceptable color
combinations. In my simple minded thinking, I would only use a few colors. Then
it is possible to do easily something like the following .
Store 16 lines of color data in a field "BaseColors". The first item of a line
is the text color, and the remaining items are compatible background colors.
on mouseUp
get any line in field "BaseColors"
set the textColor of field 1 to item 1 of it
put item 2 to -1 of it into tCompatibleColors
set the backgroundColor of field 1 to any item in tCompatibleColors
end mouseUp
(I hope this isn't too simple for what you need to do.)
