And for that matter, since most people would be reading it (when using a tablet) with a white background, then it still doesn't work. If you are using color, you have to pick colors that work with a white background.

I'm using greens and browns in my headings, and in my ornaments, too, because this is a collection of the writings of Thoreau. I don't know if you're familiar with his stuff, but it's largely very nature-oriented, and I wanted to give it all a sort of "woodsy" kinda look.
Here's a couple of screenshots of the same page spread as before, one with a white background and one black. You seemed concerned that the green headings wouldn't look okay in the latter, but I think it's just fine -- it does occur to me, though, that I should change my ornaments from JPEGs into transparent GIF or PNG format.
Funny, re that latter issue, I don't think I ever tested any of my previous books with a black background, and should probably check the ornaments, etc. that I've used in those, too. I have a few changes/updates I had to make anyway as a result of things I've learned more recently, so I'll just have to add that to the ever-growing list.
