Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Accent-On Accessible Swatches for WooCommerce version 1.0.1 as active, updated 1d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Accent-On Accessible Swatches for WooCommerce replaces the default WooCommerce variation dropdowns with color, image, and text swatches that are accessible out of the box.
Unlike other swatch plugins, it is built on semantic HTML ( <fieldset> + <input type="radio"> ) instead of <div> elements patched with JavaScript. The swatches work without custom ARIA, are operable from the keyboard, and are announced correctly by screen readers. The result:
WCAG 2.2 AA compliant — passes a formal accessibility audit
EAA-ready (EU) and ADA-ready (USA) — same standard, same plugin, different marketing frame
Works with your existing products, prices, and variations — frontend UI only
Features
Color, image, and text (label) swatch types
Square, rounded, and circle shapes; small, medium, and large sizes
Full keyboard navigation — Tab to the group, arrow keys to choose an option
Screen reader support — variant name, selected state, and out-of-stock status announced without custom ARIA
Always-visible focus indicator (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.11), independent of the theme
Accessible tooltips — reveal the variant name on hover and keyboard focus, dismissible with Escape (WCAG 1.4.13)
Out-of-stock handling — unavailable options stay visible and keyboard-reachable, are marked with a cross-out, and are announced as out of stock; they are never silently removed
Dynamic availability — as shoppers pick attributes, options that become unavailable are disabled and announced through a live region, with no page reload
Accessible reset control — a real button (announced as a button, not a link), operable with Enter and Space
Visible swatch border on any color — keeps options distinguishable on light and dark themes (WCAG 1.4.11)
Windows High Contrast / forced-colors support — swatch colors are preserved so options stay distinguishable
