Colored Links
Colored link helpers tint a link with a theme colour, including hover and focus states, while the link opacity, offset and underline helpers fine-tune how the text and its underline look. Combine them for footers, inline copy, navigation and table actions.
1All link colours
link-* classes for every theme colour, plus link-body-emphasis for high contrast text.
<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-4">
<a href="#" class="link-primary">Primary link</a><a href="#" class="link-secondary">Secondary link</a><a href="#" class="link-success">Success link</a><a href="#" class="link-danger">Danger link</a><a href="#" class="link-warning">Warning link</a><a href="#" class="link-info">Info link</a><a href="#" class="link-light bg-dark px-1 rounded-md">Light link</a><a href="#" class="link-dark">Dark link</a><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis">Body emphasis link</a>
</div>2Inline links in copy
Links inside a paragraph in the primary colour with an offset, softened underline.

Muted footer links with link-secondary that turn darker with link-body-emphasis on the heading.
<div class="row g-3 small">
<div class="col-6 col-md-3">
<a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis font-semibold no-underline block mb-2">Product</a> <a href="#" class="link-secondary block">Features</a><a href="#" class="link-secondary block">Pricing</a>

<a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis font-semibold no-underline block mb-2">Company</a> <a href="#" class="link-secondary block">About</a><a href="#" class="link-secondary block">Jobs</a>
</div>
</div>4Sidebar navigation
link-body-emphasis for menu items and link-primary for the current page.
<nav aria-label="Account">
<ul class="list-unstyled mb-0 vstack gap-2">
<li><a href="#" class="link-primary font-semibold" aria-current="page" style="text-decoration:none"><i class="bi bi-speedometer2" aria-hidden="true"></i> Dashboard</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis" style="text-decoration:none"><i class="bi bi-receipt" aria-hidden="true"></i> Orders</a></li>

<li><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis" style="text-decoration:none"><i class="bi bi-gear" aria-hidden="true"></i> Settings</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>5Danger zone link
link-danger marks destructive actions in a settings panel.
<div class="border border-danger/30 rounded-md p-4">
<h3 class="h6">Danger zone</h3>
<p class="small mb-2">Closing your account removes all Halo Works data after 30 days.</p>
<a href="#" class="link-danger link-offset-1 font-semibold"><i class="bi bi-trash" aria-hidden="true"></i> Close account</a>
</div>6Link opacity scale
link-opacity-10 to link-opacity-100 fade the link colour.
<figure class="mb-0">
<div inert>
<div class="vstack gap-1">
<a class="link-opacity-10" href="#">Link opacity 10</a><a class="link-opacity-25" href="#">Link opacity 25</a><a class="link-opacity-50" href="#">Link opacity 50</a><a class="link-opacity-75" href="#">Link opacity 75</a><a class="link-opacity-100" href="#">Link opacity 100</a>
</div>
</div>
<figcaption class="small text-muted mt-2 mb-0">Below 100 the link text no longer reaches 4.5:1 - use the faded steps for hover states and decoration, not for links people must read.</figcaption>
</figure>7Tag cloud
Popular tags larger in the brand colour, less used tags smaller in grey; the underline shows on hover.
<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-baseline">
<a href="#" class="text-xl link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#release</a><a href="#" class="text-base link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#insights</a><a href="#" class="text-lg link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#guide</a><a href="#" class="small link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#update</a><a href="#" class="text-lg link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#tips</a><a href="#" class="text-base link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#news</a>
</div>8Hover reveals the underline
link-underline-opacity-0 hides the underline until link-underline-opacity-75-hover shows it.
<p class="mb-0"> <a href="#" class="link-dark link-underline-dark link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-75-hover">Seven automations every team should set up</a> · <a href="#" class="link-success link-underline-success link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-75-hover">Inside our product roadmap for next year</a> </p>9Underline offsets
link-offset-1 to 3 move the underline away from the text; the -hover variant animates it.
<div class="vstack gap-2">
<a class="link-offset-1" href="#">Underline offset 1</a><a class="link-offset-2" href="#">Underline offset 2</a><a class="link-offset-3" href="#">Underline offset 3</a><a class="link-offset-1 link-offset-3-hover link-underline link-underline-opacity-50" href="#">Offset grows on hover</a>
</div>10Coloured underlines
Neutral text with a theme coloured underline using link-underline-*.
<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-4">
<a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis link-offset-2 link-underline-primary">Primary underline</a><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis link-offset-2 link-underline-success">Success underline</a><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis link-offset-2 link-underline-warning">Warning underline</a><a href="#" class="link-body-emphasis link-offset-2 link-underline-danger">Danger underline</a>
