Bootstrap has some contextual classes that is used to provide meaning through colors.
Text Colors
The classes for text colors are:
- .text-muted
- .text-primary
- .text-secondary (Bootstrap 4)
- .text-success
- .text-info
- .text-warning
- .text-danger
- .text-light (Bootstrap 4)
- .text-dark (Bootstrap 4)
Contextual text classes can also work on anchors (links).

- .info
- .warning
- .danger

Buttons
You can add button classes on <a>, <button>, or <input> elements. You need to add class .btn to make a link or element look like a button.

Outline Buttons
You can remove all background images and colors on any button by replacing the default modifier classes with the .btn-outline-*.
Sizes
You can add .btn-lg or .btn-sm for additional sizes. You can create block level buttons by adding .btn-block class.
Disabled Buttons
You can make buttons look inactive by adding the disabled boolean attribute to any <button> element.
