korkeakontrastisia

Korkeakontrastisia is a Finnish adjective meaning "high-contrast". It is used to describe visual displays, such as computer screens or printed materials, where the difference between the light and dark areas is very pronounced. This can make text and images easier to see and distinguish, especially for individuals with visual impairments or in challenging lighting conditions.

In computing, high contrast modes are often available as accessibility features. These modes typically involve using a limited color palette, often black and white or starkly contrasting colors, to maximize readability. This reduces the visual strain on the user. The term can also apply to printed designs, where a deliberate use of strong tonal differences is employed for aesthetic or functional purposes, such as in signage or certain types of artwork. The perception of contrast can be subjective, but generally refers to a significant difference in luminance or color saturation between adjacent elements.
