What Exactly is Medium-High Value Contrast?

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

Contrast seems to be a topic that many find kind of tricky so I wanted to post more pictures to give you examples of different kinds of contrast.

Here I'll be showing you examples of Medium-High Contrast which sits in between Medium Contrast (that is a medium depth colour with either a very light or very dark colour) and High Contrast (which is a very light colour with a very dark colour).

In essence it's a medium light colour with a really deep/dark colour or a really light colour with a medium-dark colour. Kind of simple really!

This outfit I'm wearing would be classed as medium high value contrast. The grey is medium light and the black is very dark. The hot pink is bright but medium in value which can make the contrast look higher than medium -more to medium high.

Now for some more examples of Medium-High Value Contrast

You will notice that the top is darkish (but not really dark like black or a midnight blue) and the skirt is light, but it's not white or really pale.

Here I've taken black pants (which are really dark) and paired them with a mid-light blue jacket to create the medium-high value contrast

Here there is a white dress with a medium-dark green cardigan. So very light with medium-dark.
