You should depend more on CSS than in javascript.

try

JavaScript

$(document).on("keypress", function (e) {
  
  if(e.keyCode == 32)
    {
      $(".editable").append("<span>"+" "+"</span>");
	}
	else if(e.keyCode == 8)
    {  
      $(".editable span:last-child").remove();
	}
  
	else {
			var s = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
			
			var color = '#' + (Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF << 0).toString(16);
			$(".editable").after($("img")).append("<span class='text' style='color:"+color+";'>"+s+"</span>");
  
	}
});

and add class for shadow effect to text.

CSS

.text
{
text-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
