As you see on the attached image, I labelled contour lines on the map (in meters). Which function will allow the "halo" to take the background color of the map?
On the image, the halo is greenish which diminish the look of the map.
I use ArcMAP 10.

It's possible but not dynamic.
I export labels to annotaions, buffer the annotations a little bit then use the resulting polygon feature class to mask the contour lines. Turn visibility of the buffer features class off and the line below the annotation will be masked so it doesn't matter what the background is. (example below)
Other solutions that I've seen break the line and remove a small portion of the elevation contour just below the annotation.
