@Jeff: the Python standard library is a treasure trove of neat stuff.
For example, searching for "color" brought up
http://docs.python.org/library/colorsys.html. There are also lots of
cool diagrams at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV.

One approach would be to identify a minimum difference in saturation (S)
and either value or lightness (V/L); or some combination thereof.
Convert the foreground text colour and the tag colour to HS{V/L} and
compute the difference. If it's not big enough, adjust S and V/L while
keeping H constant. Then convert back to RGB and use for the tag
background.

colorsys seems to give S=0 for black, but treating that as S=1.0 might
be more useful.

Also, I think this is what you've already suggested, but the border
around the tag text should always be the unaltered tag colour.

Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed

Bug description:
When you choose a color for a tag, the yellow-background color should be the tag color.
Open windows have to be refreshed when you set the color.
Users may use white but that's not a problem, it's a feature ;)
