From Street Fighter IV high contrast mode note
What was said about Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter IV can swap busy stages for a plain black room. Players can replace the animated backgrounds with a simple black room so Ryu and the other fighters stand out. This helps players with colourblindness or low vision track the characters.
The source frames it as a high contrast mode that can be cheap to build, as little as "a black rectangle between foreground and background." Shoot 1UP does something similar by letting players set background layer opacity so enemy ships and bullets pop.
