Contrast Styles
Helperbird offers five different high contrast styles:
Increased Contrast – Makes the existing colors stronger without changing them. Text becomes sharper and easier to read against backgrounds.
Greyscale – Removes all colors from the page. Everything appears in shades of grey, black, and white. This is helpful if colors are distracting.
Inverted Color – Flips all colors to their opposites. Light backgrounds become dark, and dark text becomes light. This is useful for reducing glare from bright pages.
Inverted Greyscale – Combines greyscale and inverted colors. The page becomes black and white with the colors flipped. Good for maximum contrast.
Yellow on Black – Displays text in yellow on a black background. This specific color combination is very helpful for many people with visual impairments.
Tip: Try each style to see which one is most comfortable for your eyes. Many people find that different styles work better for different websites or lighting conditions.
