accent-color

Baseline 2022

Newly available

Since March 2022, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The accent-color CSS property sets the accent color for user-interface controls generated by some elements.

Try it

Browsers that support accent-color currently apply it to the following HTML elements:

Each user agent has an accent color, with variations to ensure legibility and contrast. That accent color is not used by every user-interface control nor in every state of the control. The accent-color is only applied to user-interface controls that use an accent color in the states where it is applicable.
