[Vocabulary] Contrast is known by a range of terms ...

[shikemoku]

Could anyone check whether I understand the following sentence right?

Contrast is known by a range of terms, such as variety or variation, difference, unevenness, individuality, and novelty.

I thought the sentence means that words such as variation, difference, unevenness, individuality, and novelty are used in place of the word "contrast".
Am I right?

The above sentence is from an article written by Shelley Esaak, found on the following webpage.

No, contrast encompasses all those qualities and more. In the visual arts, there are contrasts in form, shape, colour, texture, lighting and others. The opposite of contrast is harmony. Striking a balance between contrast and harmony is often an objective of a designer, to achieve unity in diversity.
