Examples

Opting out of forced colors

Use the forced-color-adjust-none utility to opt an element out of the colors enforced by forced colors mode. This is useful in situations where enforcing a limited color palette will degrade usability.

Try emulating `forced-colors: active` in your developer tools to see the changes

Basic Tee

$35

Choose a color
<form> <img src="/img/shirt.jpg" /> <div> <h3>Basic Tee</h3> <h3>$35</h3> <fieldset> <legend class="sr-only">Choose a color</legend> <div class="forced-color-adjust-none ..."> <label> <input class="sr-only" type="radio" name="color-choice" value="White" /> <span class="sr-only">White</span> <span class="size-6 rounded-full border border-black/10 bg-white"></span> </label> <!-- ... --> </div> </fieldset> </div></form>

You can also use the forced colors variant to conditionally add styles when the user has enabled a forced color mode.

Restoring forced colors

Use the forced-color-adjust-auto utility to make an element adhere to colors enforced by forced colors mode:

<form> <fieldset class="forced-color-adjust-none lg:forced-color-adjust-auto ..."> <legend>Choose a color:</legend> <select class="hidden lg:block"> <option value="White">White</option> <option value="Gray">Gray</option> <option value="Black">Black</option> </select> <div class="lg:hidden"> <label> <input class="sr-only" type="radio" name="color-choice" value="White" /> <!-- ... --> </label> <!-- ... --> </div> </fieldset></form>

This can be useful if you want to undo the forced-color-adjust-none utility, for example on a larger screen size.

Responsive design

Prefix a forced-color-adjust utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="forced-color-adjust-none md:forced-color-adjust-auto ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
