### Why is this important?
Using descriptive markup and visual differences together with color enables users who cannot see color to understand the meaning conveyed through color differences.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* If color is used to indicate required fields, also use the `required` attribute and an asterisk ('*') with text (e.g., “required fields are red") to indicate required fields both programmatically and visually without color
