Wallpapers where home-screen icon labels stand out

On the home screen, app names sit under each icon in small white text. We measured the brightness of the bottom quarter of every wallpaper and kept those below 80. Labels in the bottom row and the dock stay crisp. Because the lower part of a photo tends to hold ground or water rather than sky, more wallpapers pass this test than the lock-screen one.
