I’m trying to fix an Accessibility issue with the ‘Fitness’ project reported by Lighthouse. The issue is that there is insufficient contrast with the non-active menu items against the background. I have made them white like the active menu item. The active menu item I have set to be underlined. When I preview in a browser or publish to a test sandbox site I see the underlining of the active menu item but not the change in colour of the other menu items. I have ‘published all’ and cleared history so I don’t think this is a caching issue. ![Screenshot 2025-07-31 at 16.04.39w800](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/0/0/001f48b7c6d97e9c42b0f8c97c8019e25ffb368e.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-07-31 at 16.04.20w800](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/6/862c2dd963d90478317ab0b1ee4c86ecdf0a1e56.jpeg) ---

Selecting the default tab and changing the color to white seems to work. ![fitness-theme-contrast-1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/9/696e247f83d7a0ccc7a8540cb1ededee414a62db.jpeg) ![fitness-theme-contrast-2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/8/28649b40b8d57cef90c302df4aed47a30bd86d3b.jpeg) Tested on my sandbox server, working there too. ![fitness-theme-contrast-3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/8/584e95a714109290f616c1cfe69467578f47df95.jpeg) ---

That does work if I go back to the original downloaded version of the project and preview the result in a browser but I’ve made quite a few changes since then, including changing the fonts. I don’t really understand why I see the default colour change to white happening in the ‘edit’ screen but not in either preview in a browser, or when I publish. ---

Can you share your edited project via Elements Cloud, and perhaps the live test website so we can take a look? ---

If I’ve done this right you should see my (amended) version of Fitness here: [elementsapp://downloadDocument/R9T5shA4IBm4](elementsapp://downloadDocument/R9T5shA4IBm4) My sandbox site with the published results is here: [https://www.websitesyorksandbox3.co.uk](https://www.websitesyorksandbox3.co.uk)
