FYI, if your background is really diverse in terms of colors and their layout, it won't help much to draw the text with a lighter / darker version of the average color for the skin region. In other words, the resulting color might be different enough to stand out when compared to some background pixels, but might not be that different when compared to other neighboring background pixels. I know this because I already did what you asked (the proper way, by keeping the hue of the color unchanged), and didn't post it yet for this reason.
Personally, I would additionally use either the plain or inline versions of StringEffect with a suited FontEffectColor for these String meters, in order to draw a border or a shadow around the text and making it more obvious over the background.
