Enhanced contrast basemaps now out of beta, in U.S. defaults

The Enhanced Contrast Dark and Enhanced Contrast Light basemaps are now out of beta. These are designed to offer higher contrast for the visually impaired. For details, see:

For all related Living Atlas high contrast content, see:

https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/en/browse/?q=%22Enhanced%20Contrast%20Map%22#d=2&q=%22Enhanced%20Contrast%20Map%22

These two are now part of the Esri default basemap gallery if your organization region is set to United States (Settings > General > Organization Defaults > Region).

Those organizations using a different region can still use these basemaps using a custom basemap gallery, or start with the high contrast basemap after signing in at the Living Atlas website.

Note that these will be localized and also available in the future when other regions are the organization defaults.
