Accessibility - Focus Outline Colour

A clearly visible focus outline makes keyboard navigation easier for every visitor

When a visitor navigates through a document using a keyboard, the focus outline is the visible indicator that highlights which piece of interactivity is currently selected. 

The focus outline colour appears as a coloured border around interactive modules, moving from one element to the next as the visitor presses the Tab key.

  • Click on a piece of interactivity on your page.
  • The 'Settings' palette will activate.
  • Select a colour from the colour picker for 'Focus Outline Colour'.

Choosing a clearly visible colour is essential for people who do not use a mouse, as it shows exactly where they are on the page and which item will be activated if they press Enter or Space.
