How can I enable high contrast for Samsung Note 5 running on Android 5.1.1?

[AC Question]

I can't seem to find this option on my phone. If it's not possible, is there a nice app that can replicate the high contrast option?

It's in Accessibility in your settings menu.

Sorry, kind of new to this phone but where exactly is it? I don't see the high contrast option. Is it under a different name?

Don't apologize, it's all good. I can't imagine that it wouldn't be under accessibility, unless it's under display on tabs.

That's weird. I don't have that option.

Well friend I found this link http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2467731&seqNum=5 that describes all of the Accessibility features. High contrast doesn't seem to be a standalone feature but it looks like you can combine features to achieve your goal. Look through the list of options and see if you can accomplish your goal.

I'm trying to give my font a black outline. Maybe high contrast isn't the right option for this?

By the way, thank you so much for helping.

I'm not sure 100% what you actually need but in that link it looks like list items 11, 12 and 13 would affect coloring. 11 turns things to gray scale maybe offering some contrast differences. 12 would allow you to affect colors in general, again changing the settings here might give you some contrast differences. 13 allows you to reverse the colors which I would imagine would turn white backgrounds and black fonts to reverse but I'm not sure how deep that would go. So would it affect text in the browser, or in an app? I'm not sure playing with them is probably going to be the way to find what will best fit your needs.
