Re: Minimum luminosity/contrast requirements for visible focus indicators

Hi Josh,

There are two new SCs for contrast, one for informational graphics, the other for interactive elements.

The interactive elements one will cover “focus and select indicators”, requiring 4.5:1 unless it is a “thicker line” (>2px) in which case it is 3:1.

(NB: Ignore the text in the URL, there have been many iterations and the URLs can’t change. Also, David and I suggested some simpler wording/formatting which Glenda is going to update on that page.)

Cheers,
