How a coffee roaster cut card fees by a third
Jan 15, 2026 in Invoices
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.

<nav aria-label="Account">
<ul class="list-unstyled mb-0 vstack gap-2">

</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">

</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">#tutorial</a><a href="#" class="fs-6 link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#community</a><a href="#" class="fs-5 link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#release</a><a href="#" class="small link-secondary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#tips</a><a href="#" class="fs-5 link-primary link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-100-hover">#guide</a><a href="#" class="fs-6 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">What our members asked us most</a> · <a href="#" class="link-success link-underline-success link-underline-opacity-0 link-underline-opacity-75-hover">Our favourite tips for busy weeks</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>
