Prerequisites
Ionic Framework Version
v8.x
Current Behavior
When I have an ion-input with [clearInput]="true", a clear icon shows when the input has a value.
If you tab through the page and the focus is on the clear icon, the opacity changes to 0.5 which makes the icon a lighter color. That lighter color does not satisfy the WCAG AA contrast rule.
Also it makes the icon look disabled, which it is not.
Expected Behavior
When the user tabs to get the focus on the clear icon, the contrast should be good and it should be visible that that button has the focus without seeming disabled.
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/input#clear-options
- Put the cursor on the value of the "Input with clear icon".
- Tab to focus on the clear icon
You see the icon becomes a lighter gray, without enough contrast for WCAG AA accessibility, and making it look disabled instead of focused.

Ionic Info
Ionic CLI : 5.4.16
Utility:
cordova-res : not installed
native-run : not installed
System:
NodeJS : v24.15.0
npm : 11.12.1
OS : Windows 10
Additional Information
In our application we always show a focus ring to indicate focus like described in https://web.dev/articles/style-focus.
I would like to be able to configure the ion-input to achieve that focus ring, by being allowed to specify the opacity (to keep it at 1), border and outline for the clear icon upon focus. Or ideally, that ion-input would by default leave the opacity at 1 and add
border: 1px solid black;
outline: 2px solid white;
upon focus on the clear button.
And while I'm discussing AA accessibility: the aria-label for the clear-icon is fixed as "reset", I would like a way to translate or rephrase that.
