CAPTCHA background and text colours

[Flashdakota]

Hi

A client of mine has complained a few times that the CAPTCHA background colour and text colour are too similar and the alphanumerals cannot be read.

How can i manipilate text and background colour?

Here is my code:

<cfimage action="captcha" height="50" width="180" text="#strCaptcha#" difficulty="low" fonts="verdana,arial,times new roman,courier" fontsize="20">

thank you

<cfimage action="captcha" height="50" width="300" text="#strCaptcha#" difficulty="low" fonts="verdana,arial,times new roman,courier" fontsize="20" style="background:yellow">

Experiment with different colours besides yellow.

Been having the same issues with a couple of my clients...They are getting fairly irritated just trying to read the CAPTCHA, so I did some digging and came across this company located in Cali..Confident Technologies and they look like they are just getting started but seem to have a pretty good solution..I tried it and was impressed.

Hi

Sorry about the delay..

Well its hardly a mind blowing solution... but it worked for my problem.

My initial problem was that the text wasn’t readable at times.

The captcha was on a black background...

So all I did was place the captcha inside a
