Try using the Color Contrast Analyzer extension for Firefox. It will give
you a report on the contrast between foreground and background colors for a
web page. I use it for websites I develop.

I haven't looked at the page but I'd like to additionally note that
for [some of] the color blind among us, red on black (or the reverse)
can be impossible to see.  For the web designers out there: please try
to remember that not everyone can see as well as you and if I can't
read your website, I'm going to have to go elsewhere.  Personally, I
don't really care about color schemas (being color blind, I'm used to
things looking odd).  What I do care about is high contrast, so that I
can distinguish text from background.
