Windows 10: How can I get back to default personalization backgrounds colors, etc.

Somehow I screwed up my entire color scheme through Start/Settings/Home/Personalize. I changed something (possibly by clicking on High Contrast -Black) and I couldn't reverse it. Now I've made it worse and most of my Microsoft apps and programs' color schemes are all screwed up.

How can I get back to the default settings for backgrounds and texts and toolbars?

Thanks,
Carl
