Use this function to determine the luminance (0-255) of the background:

float getLuminance(const QColor &c)
{
  return (c.red() * 0.299) + (c.green() * 0.587) + (c.blue() * 0.114);
}

If it is >128 it is a bright background, and black the right color. Otherwise 
use white:

QColor getTextColor(const QColor &bgColor)
{
  float luminance = getLuminance(bgColor);
  return (luminance > 128.0) ? QColor( 0, 0 ,0 ) : QColor( 255, 255 ,255 );
}

In order to get a lighter color, mix the text color with the backgroung color:

QColor mixColors(double p1, QColor c1, QColor c2) {
  return QColor(int(c1.red() * p1 + c2.red() * (1.0-p1)),
                int(c1.green() * p1 + c2.green() * (1.0-p1)),
		int(c1.blue() * p1 + c2.blue() * (1.0-p1)));
}

QColor getLightTextColor(const QColor &bgColor) {
  const int LightColorFactor = 0.75; // find a good one
  return mixColor(LightColorFactor, getTextColor(bgColor), bgColor);
}

Maybe these functions should be put into a central place (kdefx?), I have also 
used them in KWordWrap and KOAgendaItem.

bye...
