Rise 360 Button/Button Stack fail accessibility testing
An internal accessibility review brought this to my attention. The buttons used in Rise 360 failed accessibilitly testing due to low contrast. Is there a way I can resolve this? Thank you!

sorry - I should clarify that what failed what the contrast used to indicate focus. The user recieved only a faint visual indicator of focus. Can I change the focus color/contrast is the question I should have asked. Thanks!
Oh, I see what you are saying. There's not a way to change the focus indicator color in Rise the way there is in Storyline. But since Rise courses are really just webpages, they're going to use whatever the default Windows/Mac setting is (or if the user has some other browser extension installed, it should also follow/respect that color setting).
As far as contrast goes, it's a WCAG level AAA requirement (WCAG 2.4.13) that focus indicators have a color contrast of 3:1, and Rise only supports level AA (https://www.articulatesupport.com/article/Rise-360-Supports-Web-Content-Accessibility-Guidelines) and that's what internal accessibility reviews should be evaluating against!
All caps is also not accessible. I just posted a question about the same issue with the capitalization of the buttons!
Yeah, agreed that all caps isn't ideal and may fail an internal audit, but technically speaking, WCAG does not have specific guidelines for all-caps text.
You can change the color of the button and once you've changed it, the contrast:
