gnome-tweak-tool should let you change your theme to HighContrastInverse. I don't know if that effects the Shell itself though.

No, it does not. At least in 3.0 and 3.2. The high contrast would be too much for me, anyway.

(Btw. In the default theme, the look-and-feel of GNOME 3 seems to be less uniform/consistent than GNOME 2. Some windows/dialogs look completely different than most. But maybe these things are fixed in 3.4, which I will try as soon as it is in Debian.)

A bug (#603867) has been opened on 2009-12-05 and closed without code change on 2010-10-16. It is not marked as a11y related, however.

Just file a new one and cc me please (bugzilla-gnome@vitters.nl). Explain that you need it for accessibility reasons.

They don't want to limit the options, but if you explain the reasoning (need it for a11y), then it can be properly addressed.

E.g., option in a11y dialog maybe to do slight contract change (or background). Not the full back/white stuff.
