Issue Summary
Color alone is used to convey the "Repositories" currently active link.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the home page and activate the "Projects" link in the header.
- Select any of the projects from the main content area.
- Navigate onto the "Repositories" link in the left navigation.
- Observe that there is no other way to differentiate between the currently active link except for color.
Screenshot
Actual Results
The #E9F2FF color is used to identify the "Repositories" currently active link in the "Left navigation" section.
Color deficiencies users and screen reader users will not be able to differentiate between the colors and will have no way to easily identify the currently selected link.
Expected Results
Information presented via color should be conveyed to all users programmatically using an other alternate method.
In the mentioned example along with color, use additional visual cues such as underline, bold, patterns, and so on to convey the state of the currently active link.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
