Hmm … a few options avail at http://www.html-color-names.com/color-chart.php 
including

        - LightSkyBlue
        - Cyan
        - PaleTurquoise

some thoughts:

1) LightSkyBlue is a tad lighter

2) Cyan gives good contrast from black text. But is it so over-powering as to 
distract from other measurements?

3) PaleTurquoise offers good contrast, and is least visually distracting. But 
is it so faint as to provide insufficient contrast?

My guess would be to look at PaleTurquoise and, if you deem its contrast 
insufficient, we maybe try LightSkyBlue?
