LESS - Color Function
Description
It is a string which represents colors. Color can be set to background or foreground of the element. The color values are used to specify the color.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of color function in the LESS file −
misc_example.htm
<!doctype html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" type = "text/css" /> </head> <body> <h2 class = "style">Welcome to TutorialsPoint</h2> <p class = "style">The largest Tutorials Library on the web.</p> </body> </html>
Next, create the style.less file.
style.less
.style { color:(#fe2700) };
You can compile the style.less file to style.css by using the following command −
lessc style.less style.css
Execute the above command; it will create the style.css file automatically with the following code −
style.css
.style { color: #fe2700; }
Output
Follow these steps to see how the above code works −
Save the above html code in the misc_example.htm file.
Open this HTML file in a browser, the following output will get displayed.
less_misc_functions.htm
