/* Selects any <input> when focused */
input:focus {
color: red;
}

Syntax


:focus

Examples


HTML


<input class="red-input" value="I'll be red when focused."><br>
<input class="blue-input" value="I'll be blue when focused.">

CSS


.red-input:focus {
background: yellow;
color: red;
}

.blue-input:focus {
background: yellow;
color: blue;
}

Result



Accessibility concerns


Make sure the visual focus indicator can be seen by people with low vision. This will also benefit anyone use a screen in a brightly lit space (like outside in the sun). WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast requires that the visual focus indicator be at least 3 to 1.


:focus { outline: none; }


Never just remove the focus outline (visible focus indicator) without replacing it with a focus outline that will pass WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11 Non-Text Contrast.
