Contrast

Usage

Use the contrast-{amount?} utilities alongside the filter utility to control an element’s contrast.

<div class="filter contrast-125 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Responsive

To control an element’s contrast at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing contrast utility. For example, use md:contrast-150 to apply the contrast-150 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="filter contrast-110 md:contrast-150 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

You can customize which contrast utilities are generated using the contrast key in the theme section of your tailwind.config.js file.

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    theme: {
+     extend: {
+       contrast: {
+         25: '.25',
+       }
+     }
    }
  }

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for contrast utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the contrast utilities by modifying the contrast property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       contrast: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the contrast utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the contrast property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     contrast: false,
    }
  }
