Description

When looking at the demo here https://simonwep.github.io/pickr/ the pickr is almost accessible and navigable using keyboard.
It is also possible to select a color from palette, however you can't see which color is active (has focus). Only the active/selected color is highlighted with a border.

Research direction

Start with the Pickr demo URL and reproduce palette navigation using only the keyboard. Identify how the focused swatch is visually indicated, then ensure focus is distinguishable from the selected-color border while selection still works and keyboard navigation remains usable.
