Definition: **high contrast:** A maximum of contrast between light and dark.

In general, contrast refers to the level of difference between colours. Contrast is a term that is frequently used to describe the colouration of an image, a video, or the settings on a screen. High contrast images, videos, or screen settings are generally very vivid. A high contrast image could consist of black and white or a combination of any colours, as long as the colours used are very vivid and visually contrasting.

__ Low Contrast __


**Low contrast** : A minimum contrast value that makes the picture, image,  photograph or painting dull. Low contrast will give those images a special effect when you change the value. Question: When will people use low contrast to present their art work? - For example, they will use it when they want to portray sad feelings through the art work.
