Text colors
Text colour utilities colour text and pair well with background utilities for accessible contrast.
In this page:
Syntax
<p class="text-primary">text</p>
<p class="text-danger-emphasis">text</p>
<p class="text-body-secondary">text</p>Text colors
The same theme colours are available as text-* classes, with -emphasis variants for stronger contrast and text-body-* for neutral shades. Use text-white or text-dark to fix contrast on coloured backgrounds. text-opacity-* softens the colour.
Note:
Check contrast; text-warning on white is hard to read.
