Hi everyone, Of course it’s impossible for people with tremors and people without tremors to use a color picker to choose a particular color from 16 Million or more. And although it’s true, that this is even more difficult for people with tremors, there is an exception from this rule. A color picker just won’t fit on any device (not to talk about 320px width) with millions of squares each 24px by 24 px - so it is essential that the „buttons“ are small and it is not important for this SC whether it is one single input element or millions. Again: read the understanding document! Why you recommend to do impossible things? Have you even thought about the consequences of your suggestions? How big the color picker has to be? 24px by 24px by 16 million is more than 9 billion Pixels! Who in the world would be able to use such an input element?!? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Marc Haunschild - he / him - #gernPerDu Qualifizierte und autorisierte Prüfstelle im BIK-BITV-Prüfverbund Marc Haunschild Accessibility Consulting Sonnenhof 32 53119 Bonn Telefon: 0170 8 64 00 63 Web: https://Accessibility.Consulting https://haunschild.de Email: Marc.Haunschild@Accessibility.Consulting > Am 11.04.2024 um 14:37 schrieb P A F <pafalways@gmail.com>: > > Hello Ajay, > > I agree with Mark. Colour pickers that are gradients are one target because you can usually hold the left-click and move the cursor. You have multiple controls, which need to be a sufficient size or adequately spaced.

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.
