  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-21)
  
  I have a Kindle Oasis where the text and image contrast is normally great.
  
  But now I'm reading a book (ironically it's [Universal Principles of Design](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00A3T5UO4)) that has hundreds of images which are followed by text descriptions.
  
  Unfortunately, all the images and their descriptions are not black — they're in a lighter gray color that is hard to read due to the lack of contrast.
  
  Interestingly, when I make a text selection or while zooming/moving an image, the color is temporarily set to the normal black color.
  
  My question is — can I force Kindle to always render text and images in black or somehow specify the minimum contrast?
