Hi Randy, I would put both an outline and heavy shade in black to provide pure contrast. It should look nice and cleany

try a red outline
with a dark green shade.
leave a hairline space between outline
and shadow....
or try imitation gold letters
with medium heft black outline
and olive shade
and add a chrome yellow highlight within the letter
opposite the shade
green is fun...
in 2 ways
its fun
and you git some green fer havin fun
fun yes?

Thanks to all for your thought-I went with a 1/4" outline black and it looks great. [Thanks]
