title: Tailwind Classes
description: Icons system breakdown. Copy values of Icons.
---
Supabase is migrating to use tailwind classes that use CSS properties.
This is to support the concept of theming, so that:
1. It is easy for the team to update the theme without changing 100s of files.
2. We could offer custom or additional themes in future.
## Primitives
We (the Supabase Design team ✨) define primitive color values using Figma Variables.
- `background`
- `foreground`
- `border`
- `brand`
- `destructive`
- `warning`
These values are exported from Figma as a .json file and transformed into tailwind utilities through some scripts under `packages/ui/internals/tokens`.
Any of these colors are available on any tailwind utility that accepts color. For example:
```jsx
// this uses the default foreground color
<span className="text-foreground"></span>
// this uses the 'light' foreground color
<span className="text-foreground-light"></span>
// this uses the default warning color
<span className="text-warning"></span>
// this uses the '500' warning color
<span className="text-warning-500"></span>
```
## Shorthands
We support shorthand classes for `background`, `foreground` and `border`. For example:
- `text-muted` is the same as `text-foreground-muted`
- `bg-surface` is the same as `bg-background-surface-100`
- `border-strong` is the same as `border-border-strong`
This will stop you from needing to 'double type' the same utlity name.
You might notice we use `foreground` and `background` as prefixes, this is only because it is a Design Token standard, where as tailwind uses `bg` and `text`.
## Mixing colors
Even with shorthands, remember you can use any color. For example, `foreground-light` can also be applied on borders and backgrounds as `border-foreground-light` and `bg-foreground-light`, if needed.
Similarly, background and border primitives can be used on other tailwind utilities.
```jsx
// use the text light color for some text
<span className="text-light"></span>
// we can use the same color for a background
<div className="bg-foreground-light">
<span>I have the same color background as the left example</span>
</div>
```
## Opacity support
All the colors are generated using tailwind opacity, like `hsl(--background-default) / var(--tw-bg-opacity)`.
This means all the color options in our themes can support opacity rules. For example:
```jsx
<div className="flex gap-3">
<div className="w-4 h-4 rounded-full bg-surface-300"></div>
<div className="w-4 h-4 rounded-full bg-surface-300/90"></div>
<div className="w-4 h-4 rounded-full bg-surface-300/80"></div>
<div className="w-4 h-4 rounded-full bg-surface-300/75"></div>
<div className="w-4 h-4 rounded-full bg-surface-300/50"></div>
</div>
```
## Usage
The following tailwind classes are a combination of tailwind utilities and our primitives. They're under development and are likely to change but most are now in use and will probably be permanent fixtures.
### Foreground (Text)
| Value | Usage |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `foreground-{DEFAULT}` | Default text (**DEFAULT** is optional) |
| `foreground-light` | Light text |
| `foreground-lighter` | Lighter text |
| `foreground-muted` | Muted text |
Examples:
```jsx
<div className="text-foreground">/div>
<div className="text-foreground-light">/div>
<div className="text-foreground-lighter">/div>
<div className="text-foreground-muted">/div>
<div className="bg-foreground-light">/div>
```

### Background
| Value | Usage |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `background-{DEFAULT}` | Main body background (**DEFAULT** is optional) |
| `background-surface-100` | Panels and surfaces on the same level of the main background |
| `background-surface-200` | Surfaces that overlap the main content (ex. dropdowns) |
| `background-surface-300` | Surfaces that are stacked above background-surface-200 |
| `background-alternative` | Alternative background (inverted) |
| `background-overlay` | Overlays, Dropdowns, Popovers |
| `background-control` | Inputs, Radios, Checkboxes |
| `background-button-{DEFAULT}` | Button default |
The `background` part can be omitted when used on the `bg` tailwind utility.
Examples:
```
bg-surface-100
bg-overlay
bg-alternative
text-background-surface-100
```
