Trying out a new editing style - which do you prefer?

I'm editing the Stuff I Missed videos now and I'm trying out a new thing I was too late to implement in season 2 even though I was thinking about it even then (but didn't want to go back and change what I'd already done). I think having all of the text in black makes it confusing when I show pictures quickly and if the source info is in black people may start to read that like it's important info and not just a footnote to show where it was posted originally. I thought for season 3 I'd have captions and informative text in black and source info in pink. Do you think this works or should I still leave it in black to be more legible? I based the colors and format of my channel graphics on the "gay panic" wallpaper Charlie had in season 1 so the pink is not really the best color on the peach background but I'd have to kind of break branding to pick a different color (and I don't want to do the white drop shadow on the text every time, I think it's a bit too much). I could pick the colors from the leaves too (like green) so it would be cohesive with the palette if that's better? But I do like that in pink this info that is of secondary importance isn't distracting from the main thing (the picture/video I'm showing) as much. What do you think?

Please keep it in black. Not enough contrast with pink. You could add "Source:" in front to clearly indicate what it is. But if you do decide on another color, please go for high contrast. (In my editions of some of the books, sometimes the screen text has too little contrast for me to read it. Then I just have to guess what Nick or Charlie has texted. I found this again when rereading Vol 5 last night.)
