Look for information that is only presented through color.
- If links are identified using only color (i.e., they are not underlined), use the link contrast checker to verify at least 3:1 contrast between link and body text, and check that there is a non-color change on mouse hover and keyboard focus.
- If color change is the only identifier of keyboard focus, ensure at least 3:1 contrast between the default state and the focused state.
