But the light gray #DBDBDB color doesn't meet accessibility on white.

In which case I'd say that yes, the background of the currently focused item needs to have sufficient contrast (at least 3:1) against the white background (per 1.4.11, as that background color is the only visual indication of the focused/selected state). > > P > -- > Patrick H.
