Comment(by danielk):

 Clayton, CEA-708 allows the broadcaster to define both the foreground and
 background color, to implement this feature we should override both color
 choices in the 708 window, we don't want to end up using a dark background
 with a broadcaster's a dark foreground (intended to be on a light
 background). It would also be nice to be able to override the character
 outline, so instead of overriding the color one could just force
 characters to have a contrasting character outline (white for black
 characters, black for white characters, etc.)

 Broadcasters do appear to have trouble sending out readable text, so I
 think this is a good feature to have. But we also don't want to make the
 text sent by more "with it" broadcasters to be harder to read.
