Colors to use with black background?

Is using yellow text on a black bg bad as Mike pointed out here? If yes what colors should I use (RGB or hex values)?

My best color that I can match with the black background in HEX format is #x5x5x5 where x can be d to f since pure white is not really a good choice for black background especially when the font is too small and pure yellow also hurt the eyes. Use the "creamy" yellow eg: #edebad.

Anyway that was just my opinion

Yellow is a bad choice, but using grey intensity values varying from;

RGB: 65 65 65 to RGB: 180 180 180

can solve your problem. Gives a decent, elegant look to the site as well.

Something to try. Hope it helps.
