HTML disabled and 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA)

[LaurenceRLewis]

In WCAG 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (Level AA) it explicitly states

"Inactive User Interface Components
User Interface Components that are not available for user interaction (e.g., a disabled control in HTML) are not required to meet contrast requirements in WCAG 2.1"
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/non-text-contrast.html#:~:text=User%20Interface%20Components%20that%20are,in%20the%20form%20are%20completed.

However, I can't find anywhere in 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA) that it is exempt when the disabled attribute is used and the User Agent styles are applied. The Contrast ration of button with the disabled attribute is 1.8.1:1.

ALT="Disabled button "

I'd appreciate guidance on this for accessibility audting when a form element is disabled using HTML disabled.

The exception for disabled Elements is at all contrast SCs

• 1.4.3: Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface component, ... have no contrast requirement.
• 1.4.6: Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface component, ... have no contrast requirement.
• 1.4.11: ... except for inactive components ...

Thanks @JAWS-test I read that wrong in the normative text of the SC. Thanks for the clarification.
