Context colors


Bootstrap defines nine context types to give the user a visual indicator of what type of information is being conveyed: primary, secondary, success,info,warning, danger, dark, light, and white as well as providing the developer with simple classes to assign context to elements via text color,text-<context>or background color,bg-<context>.

  • text-muted
  • text-primary and bg-primary
  • text-secondary and bg-secondary
  • text-info and bg-info
  • text-warning and bg-warning
  • text-danger and bg-danger
  • text-light and bg-light
  • text-dark and bg-dark
  • text-white and bg-white
