Re: Non-Text contrast

As a quick follow up, I’ll put together another survey tomorrow, but it will be based on the points here:

Apart from this aspect of the exception, we seem to have agreement on the rest (of the interpretation of 1.4.11).

LVTF folks...
there is an ongoing discussion on the AGWG and LFTF list see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2018AprJun/0685.html and the subsequent 18+ messages in the thread.
there is a closed survey https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/non-text-contrast/results


There are 2 sides to the issue.
Narrow view: browser exemption applies only if the author leaves the :focus in its default state. So whatever the browser displays as default is a pass. The author is free to change any other colors.
Wide view: browser exemption applies only if the author leaves the :focus in its default state and does not change any colors of an element that can receive focus. For example: If the author sets
body {background-color: #fff;}
and, if the browser default focus ring does not meet 3:1 contrast, then the focus state indicator must be set to ensure a minimum of 3:1 contrast.

If you have thoughts or opinions please jump in the thread above or attend the AGWG call on Tuesday.
