Use utilities like bg-white, bg-indigo-500 and bg-transparent to control the background color of an element:

bg-blue-500

bg-cyan-500

bg-pink-500

<button class="bg-blue-500 ...">Button A</button><button class="bg-cyan-500 ...">Button B</button><button class="bg-pink-500 ...">Button C</button>

Use the color opacity modifier to control the opacity of an element's background color:

bg-sky-500/100

bg-sky-500/75

bg-sky-500/50

<button class="bg-sky-500/100 ..."></button><button class="bg-sky-500/75 ..."></button><button class="bg-sky-500/50 ..."></button>

Use the bg-[<value>] syntax to set the background color based on a completely custom value:

<div class="bg-[#50d71e] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the bg-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="bg-(--my-color) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for bg-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Prefix a background-color utility with a variant like hover:* to only apply the utility in that state:

<button class="bg-indigo-500 hover:bg-fuchsia-500 ...">Save changes</button>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Prefix a background-color utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="bg-blue-500 md:bg-green-500 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Use the --color-* theme variables to customize the color utilities in your project:

@theme {  --color-regal-blue: #243c5a; }

Now the bg-regal-blue utility can be used in your markup:

<div class="bg-regal-blue">  <!-- ... --></div>
