Why check more than the first and last color?

A middle blend can be lighter or darker than either edge. Sampling the transition catches weak regions that endpoint-only checks miss.

Does the contrast sample guarantee accessibility?

No. It is a local preflight using evenly spaced samples. Verify the final component at each responsive state and avoid placing essential text over uncontrolled imagery.
