Granted, one proposal that seems reasonable at first, might be to automatically pick a different color when the color tag is the same as the background, sometimes people do it deliberately -- e.g. presuming "light mode" sometimes people will ask a trivia or secret question kind of thing and use the color tag to make the text white so it doesn't appear initially but shows up when you highlight it. From a usability standpoint it seems like a bad idea for software to change a color setting that a user explicitly specified -- you would get complaints the other way.
