Sharpen the pale gray writing
Darken the faint writing that vanishes on a bright day.
Increase Contrast darkens the pale gray writing and the faint dividing lines until they stand off the background.
Designers choose light gray because it looks calm. In a sunny room it is close to invisible.
Key points
- Increase Contrast darkens pale writing so it stands off the background
- It changes nothing about size, position or brightness
What to remember
- Contrast changes the difference between writing and background.
- Contrast is about the difference, not the size or the light.

In your own Settings, look at the small gray line under a row. If you are leaning in, this is your setting.
