This is what I use for some of my sigs.

First Get out the bg you're gonna use.

2) Go to your layers panel and click on the and then go to Color Balance.




3) Enter any these:
Shadows: 50/0/0
Midtones: 50/0/0
Highlights: -8/28/-5

Then you should get something like this...

After that, put your text under that so that it matches the bg color. (make sure it's a light grey.) You should get something like this:

Layers like this:
