IMHO, this looks just great and provides enough contrast against the 
background image:

--- a/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh.orig
+++ b/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh

+COLOR_NORMAL=white/black
+COLOR_HIGHLIGHT=light-magenta/black

ALternatively, one could use black text on a magenta (not necessarily 
light-magenta) background, which would even more distinguish selected 
from non-selected menu entries.
