Should I use high contrast mode?
Users with photosensitivity or contrast issues can benefit greatly from using high contrast mode on their computer, as well as people in low-light environments.
Why is contrast important in websites?
Color contrast refers to the difference in light between font (or anything in the foreground) and its background. By using sufficiently-contrasting colors, a website's font visibility is stark enough to distinguish — meaning the great content you've developed for your website can be read by everyone.
Why is it more important to focus on contrast rather than color when creating a website?
When color pairings are used without enough contrast, text can be difficult or impossible for users with low vision or color vision deficiency to read. Even if you have no color vision deficiencies, trying to read light yellow text on a white background is not the easiest, right?
Who needs high contrast mode?
High contrast mode is an accessibility feature that alters the colors used by the OS, apps, and websites to maximize legibility. It's popular among people with low vision or photosensitivity.
