Background Colors

Applying background colors to elements.

Background colors follow the same pattern as text colors: bg-{color}-{shade}.

Examples

<div class="bg-gray-100 p-4">
  <p class="bg-yellow-200">Highlighted text</p>
</div>

Pairing Backgrounds and Text

Always ensure good contrast between your bg- and text- classes.

<!-- Good Contrast -->
<div class="bg-blue-900 text-blue-50">...</div>

<!-- Bad Contrast -->
<div class="bg-blue-500 text-blue-600">...</div>
