These opaque-color ratios do not certify WCAG conformance. Check actual indicator area, line gaps, surrounding backgrounds and occlusion. Focus Appearance 2.4.13 is AAA; a contrast number alone cannot establish an AA pass.
Apply the focus-target class to your component. The shadow gap uses the selected page color. Output includes a visible outline fallback for forced colors.
Compare outline clipping
The dashed border marks the parent. Both samples use 2px of parent padding; only overflow differs. Positive offsets can move the outline past the clip edge; negative offsets move it inward. Tab through the real page to check that focus stays visible.
Clipping comparison is unavailable in forced colors. Use the keyboard preview above to check focus.

}How to use this tool
Choose a preset and Tab to the preview button. Open the clipping comparison to see what changes when the parent uses overflow: hidden. Copy the CSS and apply the focus-target class to your component.
When not to use it
Contrast ratios alone do not certify WCAG conformance. Check indicator area, actual backgrounds, clipping and focus visibility in your application. Shadow gaps assume an opaque uniform page color.
