What Is the Default Style of the Blue Focus Outline in Chrome

What is the default style of the blue focus outline in Chrome?

To answer the question, Webkit browsers use outline: 5px auto -webkit-focus-ring-color;. On Macs -webkit-focus-ring-color is blue rgb(94, 158, 214) (or #5E9ED6), but on Windows and Linux it’s gold rgb(229, 151, 0) (or #E59700) (ref).

While I understand your desire for consistency, users generally only use one browser, and are used to their browser’s default styles. Note that unless you plan to change every instance of :focus you’ll end up with inconsistency for e.g. keyboard users. Pros and cons eh!

If you define outline styles and want to ‘revert’ back to the default User Agent styles on :focus, this will help

.myClass:focus {

  outline: 1px dotted #212121;

  outline: 5px auto -webkit-focus-ring-color;

}

Remove blue border from css custom-styled button in Chrome

Doing this is not recommended as it regresses the accessibility of your site; for more info, see this post.

That said, if you insist, this CSS should work:

button:focus {outline:0;}

How to remove focus border (outline) around text/input boxes? (Chrome)

This border is used to show that the element is focused (i.e. you can type in the input or press the button with Enter). You can remove it with outline property, though:

textarea:focus, input:focus{
    outline: none;
}

You may want to add some other way for users to know what element has keyboard focus though for usability.

Chrome will also apply highlighting to other elements such as DIV's used as modals. To prevent the highlight on those and all other elements as well, you can do:

*:focus {
    outline: none;
}

⚠️ Accessibility warning

Please notice that removing outline from input is an accessibility bad practice. Users using screen readers will not be able to see where their pointer is focused at. More info at a11yproject
