Normal procedure is to use a dark background-color in addition to a dark
background-image as background for light text.
Background-color should be declared anyway - lack of one will trigger a
warning in the CSS validator, so it is just a question of choosing the
right colors or shades that assure necessary contrast both with and
without background-images.
If accessibility really matters (which it should), you should also make
sure the choice of colors don't create unnecessary problems for people
with various types of color blindness.
White text on a near-black background should work fine though, although
I personally find such a combination pretty hard to read in most cases.
