As an addition to the suggestions you received so far: Use
*complementary* colors. This will produce positive results, i.e.
readable fields with sufficient contrast in at least  90 % of all cases.

" put random(256) - 1 into R
 put random(256) - 1 into G
 put random(256) - 1 into B
 set the forecolor of fld 1 to R,G,B
 put 255 - R into R
 put 255 - G into G
 put 255 - B into B
 set the backcolor of fld 1 to R,G,B"
