Comment (by afercia):

 After the blue on hover/focus was reverted in [changeset:32823] see
 #31336, using just a shade of gray wouldn't be sufficient. Also, focus
 indicator shouldn't relay on color alone and secondary marker is required.
 [attachment:29158.borders.diff] is an improvement since it uses also an
 icon change.

 By the way I would propose to make an effort to establish a unique design
 pattern to be used also in other places in the admin, see for example
 #28599 or what Press This currently uses (see screenshot below).
 Worth considering WordPress should have a unique way to indicate focus on
 this kind of menu items and users shouldn't be forced to learn new
 patterns depending on the different screens/components.

 Menu items focus style in Press This:
