Tailwind CSS Contrast

Tailwind CSS Contrast classes are used to help improve the contrast of text and background elements on your website. They are particularly useful for ensuring that text is easily readable, especially for people with visual impairments.

Syntax

The syntax for using Tailwind CSS Contrast classes is as follows:

<div class="bg-{{color}}-{{level}} text-{{color}}-{{level}}"> 
  <!-- Your content here -->
</div>

• {{color}}: The color of the element you want to add contrast to.
• {{level}}: The level of contrast you want to use (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000).

Example

Here's an example of how you could use Tailwind CSS Contrast classes to add contrast to a button:

<button class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded-full contrast-500">
  Click me!
</button>

Output

Explanation

In the above code example, we've added the bg-blue-500 and hover:bg-blue-700 classes to style the background color of the button and change it on hover. We've also added the text-white class to set the text color to white, and font-bold to make the text bold.

To add contrast, we've added the contrast-500 class which sets the background color to a shade that contrasts well with blue, and sets the text color to a shade that contrasts well with white.

Use

Tailwind CSS Contrast classes can be used anywhere you want to improve the contrast of text and background elements, such as buttons, headings, or entire sections of your website.
