#' MOVED Contrast Text Color
#' @description Calculates the best contrast text color for a given 
#' background color.
#' @param background A hex/named color value that represents the background.
#' @param light_text A hex/named color value that represents the light text 
#' color.
#' @param dark_text A hex/named color value that represents the dark text color.
#' @param threshold A numeric value between 0 and 1 that is used to determine 
#' the luminance threshold of the background color for text color.
#' @param method A character string that specifies the method for calculating 
#' the luminance. Three different methods are available: 
#' c("relative","perceived","perceived_2")
#' @param ... parameter overflow. Ignored.
#' @details
#' This function aids in deciding the font color to print on a given background.
#' The function is based on the example provided by teppo: 
#' https://stackoverflow.com/a/66669838/21019325.
#' The different methods provided are based on the methods outlined in the 
#' StackOverflow thread: 
#' https://stackoverflow.com/questions/596216/formula-to-determine-perceived-brightness-of-rgb-color
#' @return A character string that contains the best contrast text color.
