Re: Links on focus

If the link changes colour on focus, and the contrast ratio difference 
between the non-focused and focused state is 3:1 or greater, this passes 
"Use of color" because the change is not just a change of color (hue), 
but a distinct change of lightness/luminosity. (see recent clarification 
to the understanding document for 1.4.1)

G183 is an advisory technique that goes beyond the bare minimum 
requirement of 1.4.1 - having a contrast of 3:1 is sufficient to pass, 
but adding an extra underline or similar makes it better ... but it's 
not necessary to do in order to pass the SC. See the recent 
clarification here
