iOS automatically chooses a text color that is readable over your wallpaper. If you have a wallpaper that is very light in color, it will be black or a very dark gray. Sometimes it will put a dark overlay over the wallpaper and then use white text. You can try a different wallpaper or try to reposition the wallpaper you are currently using until you get your desired text color.
