Recommended text for high contrast theme switcher link?

Hi Folks,

Finally found a good way to build a theme switcher that doesn't rely on js.
I've noticed several calls on the WordPress forum for a high contrast theme,
so I figured I would wrap it into one I'm building, and offer it for public
download.

I figure I'd place the link in the upper right hand corner, just above the
site search box. Since I want people to be able to switch back to the
default theme if they want, I figured I'd create a select menu for
switching. My question is, how do you think I can best word the label and
select menu text.

Is a label that says "change theme" with options of "high contrast" and
"default" easily understood?
