To control the text color of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing text color utility. For example, use md:text-green-600
to apply the text-green-600
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Hover
To control the text color of an element on hover, add the hover:
prefix to any existing text color utility. For example, use hover:text-blue-600
to apply the text-blue-600
utility on hover.
Hover utilities can also be combined with responsive utilities by adding the responsive {screen}:
prefix before the prefix.
<button class="... md:text-blue-500 md:hover:text-blue-600 ...">Button</button>
To control the text color of an element on focus, add the focus:
prefix to any existing text color utility. For example, use focus:text-blue-600
to apply the text-blue-600
utility on focus.
<input class="text-gray-900 focus:text-red-600 ...">
Focus utilities can also be combined with responsive utilities by adding the responsive {screen}:
prefix before the focus:
prefix.
Customizing
By default Tailwind makes the entire available as text colors.
You can customize your color palette by editing theme.colors
in your tailwind.config.js
file, or customize just your text colors in the theme.textColor
section.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
- textColor: theme => theme('colors'),
+ textColor: {
+ 'danger': '#e3342f',
+ }
}
}
By default, only responsive, hover and focus variants are generated for text color utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the text color utilities by modifying the textColor
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate active and group-hover variants:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
variants: {
// ...
- textColor: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
+ textColor: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus', 'active', 'group-hover'],
}
