The contrast control adjusts the separation between light tones and dark tones. The factory preset contrast is actually quite high making highlights very bright and shadows very dark. This doesn't suit many outdoor shots. Lowering the contrast reduces this harshness and saturates colours more.
Standard 7,0,0,0. This is the standard contrast that comes out of the box. The contrast between light and shadows here is already quite harsh.
Standard 7,1,0,0. A common recommendation given to give photos more pop is to increase the contrast. This shot was set at Contrast +1. This makes the problem worse as colours become more pale, and shadows become even darker.
Standard 7,-2,0,0. A much better recommendation is to reduce the contrast so that colours are more saturated. Here I have reduced the contrast to -2.
The correct contrast setting is really scene dependant. There is no single contrast setting that will work for all situations. Even though I commonly set my contrast to -2, there are times such as the following when I need to reduce or increase the contrast, depending on the scene.
