Overview

Added in v4.2.6

Color and background helpers combine the power of our .text-* utilities and .bg-* utilities in one class. Using our Sass color-contrast() function, we automatically determine a contrasting color for a particular background-color.

Heads up! There’s currently no support for a CSS-native color-contrast function, so we use our own via Sass. This means that customizing our theme colors via CSS variables may cause color contrast issues with these utilities.

<span class="badge text-bg-info">Info</span>

Or on cards:
