Examples
Basic example
Use the bg-[<value>] syntax to set the background image of an element:
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] ..."></div>Adding a linear gradient
Use utilities like bg-linear-to-r and bg-linear-<angle> with the color stop utilities to add a linear gradient to an element:
<div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-r from-cyan-500 to-blue-500"></div><div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-t from-sky-500 to-indigo-500"></div><div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-bl from-violet-500 to-fuchsia-500"></div><div class="h-14 bg-linear-65 from-purple-500 to-pink-500"></div>Adding a radial gradient
Use the bg-radial and bg-radial-[<position>] utilities with the color stop utilities to add a radial gradient to an element:
<div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial from-pink-400 from-40% to-fuchsia-700"></div><div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_50%_75%] from-sky-200 via-blue-400 to-indigo-900 to-90%"></div><div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_25%_25%] from-white to-zinc-900 to-75%"></div>Adding a conic gradient
Use the bg-conic and bg-conic-<angle> utilities with the color stop utilities to add a conic gradient to an element:
<div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic from-blue-600 to-sky-400 to-50%"></div><div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic-180 from-indigo-600 via-indigo-50 to-indigo-600"></div><div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic/decreasing from-violet-700 via-lime-300 to-violet-700"></div>Setting gradient color stops
Use utilities like from-indigo-500, via-purple-500, and to-pink-500 to set the colors of the gradient stops:
<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500 ..."></div>Setting gradient stop positions
Use utilities like from-10%, via-30%, and to-90% to set more precise positions for the gradient color stops:
<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 from-10% via-sky-500 via-30% to-emerald-500 to-90% ..."></div>Changing interpolation mode
Use the interpolation modifier to control the interpolation mode of a gradient:
srgb
hsl
oklab
oklch
longer
shorter
increasing
decreasing
<div class="bg-linear-to-r/srgb from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/hsl from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/oklab from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/oklch from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/longer from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/shorter from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/increasing from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div><div class="bg-linear-to-r/decreasing from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>By default gradients are interpolated in the oklab color space.
Removing background images
Use the bg-none utility to remove an existing background image from an element:
<div class="bg-none"></div>Using a custom value
Use utilities like bg-linear-[<value>] and from-[<value>] to set the gradient based on a completely custom value:
<div class="bg-linear-[25deg,red_5%,yellow_60%,lime_90%,teal] ..."> <!-- ... --></div>For CSS variables, you can also use the bg-linear-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<div class="bg-linear-(--my-gradient) ..."> <!-- ... --></div>This is just a shorthand for bg-linear-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Responsive design
Prefix a background-image utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="from-purple-400 md:from-yellow-500 ..."> <!-- ... --></div>Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
Customizing your theme
Use the --color-* theme variables to customize the color utilities in your project:
@theme { --color-regal-blue: #243c5a; }Now utilities like from-regal-blue,via-regal-blue, and to-regal-blue can be used in your markup:
<div class="from-regal-blue"> <!-- ... --></div>Learn more about customizing your theme in the theme documentation.
