Products with multiple color selection

Hi folks,



Need suggestion for below scenario -



When I browse a shopping app and go to the product description screen,
products will be available in multiple colours. Users can only select one
colour at a time and these are all buttons. Whichever control is selected
is highlighted to the sighted user therefore I have asked for a selected
state announcement for the highlighted control. When a user selects any
different colour, the previous one will be unselected and the current one
will be highlighted and announced as selected. Do we need an unselected
state for other controls as well, whichever is in the unselected state?

My personal view on this is, since we can select one colour it is easily
understandable by users others will be in unselected state. is it necessary
to provide an unselected state for other controls as well?



Thanks in advance!
