+/**
+ * A <code>IColorFactory</code> that may be used to select a color with a higher
+ * contrast. The input colors are specified as per method number two in
+ * {@link org.eclipse.core.runtime.IExecutableExtension}.
+ * <p>
+ * Example usage:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * &lt;colorDefinition
+ *     label="Declaration view background"
+ *     id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.DeclarationView.backgroundColor"&gt;
+ *     &lt;colorFactory
+ *             plugin="org.eclipse.ui"
+ *             class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.themes.RGBContrastFactory"&gt;
+ *         &lt;parameter name="foreground" value="0,0,0" /&gt;
+ *         &lt;parameter name="background" value="COLOR_INFO_BACKGROUND" /&gt;
+ *         &lt;parameter name="alternativeBackground" value="COLOR_LIST_BACKGROUND" /&gt;
+ *     &lt;/colorFactory&gt;
+ * &lt;/colorDefinition&gt;
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Returns <em>background</em> if <em>foreground</em> is visibly distinct from
+ * <em>background</em>. Otherwise, returns <em>alternativeBackground</em> if
+ * that color has more difference in brightness to the foreground. If both
+ * colors are bad, returns <em>background</em>. The color values may be
+ * specified as RGB triples or as SWT constants.
+ *
+ * @see org.eclipse.swt.SWT
+ * @since 3.107.100
