Accessibility matters; the implementation differs

Power BI includes built-in support for keyboard navigation, screen readers, high contrast, focus mode and accessible data views. Report authors still configure alt text, tab order, labels and themes.

Design should specify sufficient contrast, non-color status indicators, meaningful labels, logical visual reading order, meaningful tab order, accessible chart labeling, visible selection states, understandable comparison labels and alt-text intent.

Do not rely on:

Green = good
Red = bad

Prefer explicit direction and meaning, with semantic color as reinforcement:

↑ +4.2%  Above target
↓ -3.1%  Below target
