Out of the box, the Kendo React ColorPalette provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.


The ColorPalette is compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) standards and [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/) requirements, follows the [Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) best practices for implementing the [keyboard navigation](#keyboard-navigation) for its `component` role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.

## WAI-ARIA


This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.

| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
| -------- | --------- | ----- |
| `.k-colorpalette` | `role=grid` | The focusable wrapper of the component should announce its role as a `grid`. |
|  | `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` | The component needs an accessible name to be assigned to it. Must also include the currently selected value in the component. |
|  | `aria-activedescendant=.k-colorpalette-tile.k-focus id` | Points to the focused cell in the table. The focused cell is changed via keyboard navigation. |
|  | `tabindex=0` | The element must be focusable. |
| `.k-colorpalette.k-disabled` | `aria-disabled=true` | Attribute is rendered only when the ColorPalette is disabled. |
| `.k-colorpalette-table` | `role=none/presentation` | Negates the default role of the element, as it is wrapped within a `role="grid"` element. |
| `.k-colorpalette-table>tbody>tr` | `role=row` | Required as the semantic role of its parent `<table>` has been removed. |
| `.k-colorpalette-tile` | `role=gridcell` | Required as the semantic role of its parent `<table>` has been removed. |
|  | `aria-label` or `title` | The text representation of the color value for the current cell. |
| `.k-colorpalette-tile.k-selected` | `aria-selected=true` | Present on the currently selected cell in the component. |
