It currently has a bunch of problems, like unlabeled items and unclear structure for someone who cannot see the screen.

This patch does the following:

  1. Makes the color swatch more explicit when read by a screen reader user. It was not clear that this is a color preview being displayed.
  2. Both the flex-direction and flex-wrap badges are being treated as illustrations, not generic containers, so screen readers immediately pick up the full meaning from the title.
  3. Turns the flex item list sub heading into an actual heading for screen readers. It is level 3 because the accordeon headings are all level 2.

Depends on D79128
