Thanks, Alastair.

I don’t think the guidelines need to define the indicator. 

WCAG doesn’t define the “other visual means” in Use of Color. There are examples and techniques, but it’s up to the designer to determine how to provide the information conveyed with color through another visual means.

Best,
Sarah
