Color and background
Set a background color with contrasting foreground color.
Overview
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.

Accessibility tip: Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Please ensure the meaning is obvious from the content itself (e.g., the visible text with a sufficient color contrast) or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the
.visually-hidden class.
With components
Use them in place of combined .text-* and .bg-* classes, like on badges:
Primary

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