What is Windows High Contrast Mode?

Windows High Contrast mode uses a limited color palette with contrasting colors to make an interface easier to use. This is different from using an inverted display, although high contrast mode often looks like an inverted display due to the darker color palette. Users with photosensitivity or contrast issues can greatly benefit from using high contrast mode on their computer, as well as people in dimly lit environments.

In this video, we'll explore Windows High Contrast Mode and its relationship to web accessibility with real-world examples.
