The Three Axes of Contrast

Contrast operates on three independent axes: value (lightness difference — most powerful for readability), saturation (chroma — creates visual pop), and hue difference (least reliable alone — color-blind users may not perceive it). Effective contrast design uses all three, with value as the non-negotiable accessibility foundation.
