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 standards and Section 508 requirements, follows the Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) best practices for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.
