      Color alone is used to convey selected state of "Light", "Dark", "Match system" and so on radio buttons.

      2. Navigate to the header section.

      4. Navigate to the mentioned radio buttons.
      5. Observe that color alone is used to indicate the selected state of the radio buttons.

      Actual Results

      The #E9F2FF color alone is used to indicate the selected state of the "Light", "Dark", "Match system" and so on radio buttons that becomes available on activating the "User Profile" and "Theme" buttons in the header section.

      Color deficiencies users will not be able to differentiate between the colors and will have no way to easily identify the currently selected radio button.

      Expected Results

      Information presented via color should be conveyed to all users programmatically using another alternate method.

      In the mentioned example at least see to it that the color contrast between the selected state and non-selected state of the radio buttons should be a minimum of 3:1.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
