What does Focus Visible imply for accessibility?

• A. Focus on a webpage is visible in some way.
• B. Focus visibility is determined by color contrast alone.
• C. Focus must always be hidden for keyboard users.
• D. Focus visible only applies to mouse users.

Answer: (A)

Focus Visible means there is a clear visual cue showing which element currently has keyboard focus. When you navigate a page with the Tab key, the focused control should be identifiable by something like a high-contrast outline, glow, border change, or other noticeable indicator. This matters for accessibility because many users rely on the keyboard to move through content, and without a visible focus there’s no way to know where keystrokes will apply. The indicator doesn’t have to depend on color alone; it should be perceivable in real-world viewing conditions and for people with color vision deficiencies. This visibility applies to all focusable elements, not just mouse users, and it ensures that keyboard users can navigate confidently.
