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>
