Contrast allows you to adjust the contrast between text and its background. It also removes shading of tabs and other parts of the screen that reduce contrast.
Contrast works differently on Macs and PCs and is adjustable.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you click, you will see more information.
1. Can I get low contrast settings as well ?
Yes. You can go to the Contrast settings and adjust them. Just right click on the control and select settings. They will work across applications.
Windows gives you the greatest ability to adjust contrast. There are no pre-made low contrast settings. You can control the colors of the different parts of what appears on the screen, and make up your own contrast scheme. You can set the colors for text, hyperlinks, disabled text, selected text/highlight, button/text, and background color.
Some people find that turning on Night mode (which makes the screen look a dull yellow color) reduces contrast for them – especially if they adjust it to be a stronger night mode.
2. How can I learn more about the contrast settings?
You can go to the accessibility page at Apple and Microsoft (accessibility.apple.com, accessibility.microsoft.com).
But a better way might be to go to YouTube and search for “Accessibility” and “Windows” or “macOS” and the word “contrast”.
3. Why does my app not show up using the colors I selected?
Unfortunately, not every app follows the operating system contrast settings. You may be able to use a different app: for example, the Chrome browser displays in the standard colors while Edge uses your high contrast settings.
4. One of my apps got stuck in the high contrast color scheme. What can I do?
Most apps will change colors after a few seconds. If not, you can try closing the app and opening it again.
