Red background and white text

Use to make text appear white in colour on a red background.

Appearance

This text is styled with .bg-dark, .bg-canadaday and .text-white.

Correct use

Compliance point(s):

  • Use to introduce contrast to information
  • Use .bg-dark and .bg-canadaday in combination with .text-white to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background
  • Wrap text in a <span> tag if a style does not appear as it is meant to, due to specificity reasons

Incorrect use

Compliance point(s):

  • Do not use this component in a way that conflicts with the preceding compliance point(s)
  • Do not use as the only way to communicate information or intent, as colour alone is not accessible
