RE: Target size for color pickers

Is it possible to use the arrow keys to move the selector? Which would at least provide an alternate access.

Hi Ajay,

I haven’t read this SC but based on what you said I think this is allowed.

This means as people with a tremor cannot use the color picker you should add a field where a hex value can be inserted using the keyboard.

              Greetings,

We have a color picker composed of little squares of different colors laid out as a grid, much like the one that you can get while changing the font color on MS Word. The SC 2.5.8 Target Size<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-minimum.html>  makes an exception for “Targets that allow values to be selected spatially”  which include Color picker gradients. Now, as mentioned, the color picker under test is tiny grid of color squares and not continuous gradient. So would this color picker under test meets the bar for the exception?

Also,just to add,  the tiny squares are adjacent to each other, so no blank space in between and there is no option to specify color manually by using hexcode.


Thanks!
Ajay
