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="d-flex flex-wrap gap-3">
<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">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.
Volunteers give their time in schools, shelters and food banks every week. Read the setup guide or browse the animals section.
<p class="mb-0">Volunteers give their time in schools, shelters and food banks every week.

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 fw-semibold text-decoration-none d-block mb-2">Product</a> <a href="#" class="link-secondary d-block">Features</a><a href="#" class="link-secondary d-block">Pricing</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 fw-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-subtle rounded p-3">
<h3 class="h6">Danger zone</h3>
<p class="small mb-2">Closing your account removes all Rallyium data after 30 days.</p>
<a href="#" class="link-danger link-offset-1 fw-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-body-secondary 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="d-flex flex-wrap gap-3 align-items-baseline">
<a href="#" class="fs-4 link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#news</a><a href="#" class="fs-6 link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#update</a><a href="#" class="fs-5 link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#design</a><a href="#" class="small link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#insights</a><a href="#" class="fs-5 link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#tutorial</a><a href="#" class="fs-6 link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#guide</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">Five things we learned this year</a> · <a href="#" class="link-success link-underline-success link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-75-hover">The small habits that make a big difference</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="d-flex flex-wrap gap-3">
<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>
