  Hi there, are you talking about this site: https://amoveablegarden.wordpress.com/? If so, with the nature of your header image, you may want to try a white text shadow. Go to Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following custom CSS.

  #header .site-title a, #header .site-description {
      text-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #fff;
  }

  If you wish to play with text colors for the site title and tagline, add the following to your custom CSS and adjust the hex color code as desired.

  #header .site-title a, #header .site-description {
      color: #000000 !important;
  }

  Thanks! Someone at WP, via chat, helped me change it to black yesterday and I have been playing around with other colours using the CSS but didn’t know about the shadow option. Appreciate the help.
