==Colors and Styles==
Beyond uploading image files, you can adjust the colors and some styles. If you choose to change the colors in your system, make sure you maintain a contrast ratio between fonts and backgrounds of 4.5 or greater to ensure you meet with accessibility standards (Section 508 and WCAG 2.0). Use the The following tool may be used to check your contrast ratio [https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ contrast checker by webaim].

||Highlight
||When the user clicks into an input or tabs to an input the focus will move to that input. When an input is in focus that input background will change from white to the color chosen in this setting. This setting gives an extra layer of visibility and differentiation for the currently selected input. This must be set to a light tint, example yellow such as #F7F4DA. Do not set this color to a grey as the "X" used to clear inputs will not show up.
