Selected date

Highlighting a selected date in date pickers is key for efficient user interaction. A clearly marked selection provides immediate visual feedback, eliminating guesswork and assuring users of their successful action, like booking a flight or setting a reminder. Both the current and selected dates should be noticeable, but the selected date needs more emphasis for two main reasons:

• Focus on user action: The selected date is the user's active choice and the interaction's focal point. It should stand out to confirm successful input.
• Avoid confusion: Over-emphasizing today's date can confuse users, making them think it's the selected date, especially during quick navigation.
