Usage

ElementClassDescription
.has-bgColor-<color name> Sets the background color of an element to the chosen color. All available color names can be found in the html examples above.
Example: has-bgColor-primary
.has-bgColor-forced-<color name> Using the keyword -forced adds the chosen background color with !important to the element.
Example: has-bgColor-forced-primary

This helps to override other potential classes which might have a higher specificity as the 'normal' color helper classes. Be careful since the usage of !important can quickly create a mess in your stylesheets.
.has-borderColor-<color name> Sets the border color of an element to the chosen color. All available color names can be found in the html examples above.
Example: has-borderColor-primary
.has-borderColor-forced-<color name> Using the keyword -forced adds the chosen border color with !important to the element.
Example: has-bgColor-forced-primary

This helps to override other potential classes which might have a higher specificity as the 'normal' color helper classes. Be careful since the usage of !important can quickly create a mess in your stylesheets.
.has-color-<color name> Sets the text color of an element to the chosen color. All available color names can be found in the html examples above.
Example: has-color-primary
.has-color-forced-<color name> Using the keyword -forced adds the text color with !important to the element.
Example: has-color-forced-primary

This helps to override other potential classes which might have a higher specificity as the 'normal' color helper classes. Be careful since the usage of !important can quickly create a mess in your stylesheets.
