To create a text box with a colored background but the text didn't appear not

I'm doing a map of color-coding. It's just a black and white base card, but I filled in the cities with different colors using the paint bucket tool, to show which region they belong to.

At the bottom of the map is a list of five regional offices and the offices of the area covered by each of them. I was hoping to create a box around the text, and then fill it (the box) with the color that corresponds to that particular region.

Using the rectangle selection tool, I call a box around the text and filled with color. The opacity is set to 100%, so the text behind it disappeared completely. If I reduce the opacity of the text appears in grey, but I want the text to stand out and to be black.

Using the Horizontal type tool I tried to redo the text everywhere again. However, the text I typed (see the text layer name) was not appear.

Then I went in the character window and clicked rest character, hoping that the text arise, but it still does not work. The blue fill layer covers the original text, but is there a way to keep this original text, always be black, in order to keep the blue background? Or redo the entire text again in a new layer (as I tried to do below) would make more sense?

Change the blending mode of the layer of color, darker color should work well.
