--- layout: docs title: Colors description: Convey meaning through color with a handful of color utility classes. Includes support for styling links with hover states, too. group: utilities toc: true --- {% capture callout %} #### Dealing with specificity Sometimes contextual classes cannot be applied due to the specificity of another selector. In some cases, a sufficient workaround is to wrap your element's content in a `
.text-{{ color.name }}
{% endfor %}.text-body
.text-muted
.text-white
.text-black-50
.text-white-50
{% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %} Contextual text classes also work well on anchors with the provided hover and focus states. **Note that the `.text-white` and `.text-muted` class has no additional link styling beyond underline.** {% capture example %} {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}{{ color.name | capitalize }} link
{% endfor %} {% endcapture %} {% include example.html content=example %} ## Background color Similar to the contextual text color classes, easily set the background of an element to any contextual class. Anchor components will darken on hover, just like the text classes. Background utilities **do not set `color`**, so in some cases you'll want to use `.text-*` utilities. {% capture example %} {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
