background

The background shorthand CSS property sets all background style properties at once, such as color, image, origin and size, or repeat method. Component properties not set in the background shorthand property value declaration are set to their default values.

Try it

Constituent properties

This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

Syntax

/* Using a */ background: green; /* Using a and */ background: url("test.jpg") repeat-y; /* Using a and */ background: border-box red; /* A single image, centered and scaled */ background: no-repeat center/80% url("../img/image.png"); /* Global values */ background: inherit; background: initial; background: revert; background: revert-layer; background: unset; 

The background property is specified as one or more background layers, separated by commas.

The syntax of each layer is as follows:

• Each layer may include zero or one occurrences of any of the following values:
  • The value may only be included immediately after , separated with the ‘/’ character, like this: » center/80% «.
  • The value may be included zero, one, or two times. If included once, it sets both background-origin and background-clip . If it is included twice, the first occurrence sets background-origin , and the second sets background-clip .
  • The value may only be included in the last layer specified.

  Values

  See background-clip and background-origin . Default: border-box and padding-box respectively.

  See background-color . Default: transparent .

  The following three lines of CSS are equivalent:

  background: none; background: transparent; background: repeat scroll 0% 0% / auto padding-box border-box none transparent; 

  Accessibility concerns

  Browsers do not provide any special information on background images to assistive technology. This is important primarily for screen readers, as a screen reader will not announce its presence and therefore convey nothing to its users. If the image contains information critical to understanding the page’s overall purpose, it is better to describe it semantically in the document.

  Formal definition

  • background-image : none
  • background-position : 0% 0%
  • background-size : auto auto
  • background-repeat : repeat
  • background-origin : padding-box
  • background-clip : border-box
  • background-attachment : scroll
  • background-color : transparent
  • background-position : refer to the size of the background positioning area minus size of background image; size refers to the width for horizontal offsets and to the height for vertical offsets
  • background-size : relative to the background positioning area
  • background-image : as specified, but with url() values made absolute
  • background-position : as each of the properties of the shorthand:
    • background-position-x : A list, each item consisting of: an offset given as a combination of an absolute length and a percentage, plus an origin keyword
    • background-position-y : A list, each item consisting of: an offset given as a combination of an absolute length and a percentage, plus an origin keyword
    • background-color : a color
    • background-image : discrete
    • background-clip : a repeatable list of
    • background-position : a repeatable list of
    • background-size : a repeatable list of
    • background-repeat : discrete
    • background-attachment : discrete

    background-color

    The background-color CSS property sets the background color of an element.

    Try it

    Syntax

    /* Keyword values */ background-color: red; background-color: indigo; /* Hexadecimal value */ background-color: #bbff00; /* Fully opaque */ background-color: #bf0; /* Fully opaque shorthand */ background-color: #11ffee00; /* Fully transparent */ background-color: #1fe0; /* Fully transparent shorthand */ background-color: #11ffeeff; /* Fully opaque */ background-color: #1fef; /* Fully opaque shorthand */ /* RGB value */ background-color: rgb(255 255 128); /* Fully opaque */ background-color: rgb(117 190 218 / 0.5); /* 50% transparent */ /* HSL value */ background-color: hsl(50 33% 25%); /* Fully opaque */ background-color: hsl(50 33% 25% / 0.75); /* 75% opaque, i.e. 25% transparent */ /* Special keyword values */ background-color: currentcolor; background-color: transparent; /* Global values */ background-color: inherit; background-color: initial; background-color: revert; background-color: revert-layer; background-color: unset; 

    The background-color property is specified as a single value.

    Values

    The uniform color of the background. It is rendered behind any background-image that is specified, although the color will still be visible through any transparency in the image.

    Accessibility concerns

    It is important to ensure that the contrast ratio between the background color and the color of the text placed over it is high enough that people experiencing low vision conditions will be able to read the content of the page.

    Color contrast ratio is determined by comparing the luminance of the text and background color values. In order to meet current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a ratio of 4.5:1 is required for text content and 3:1 for larger text such as headings. Large text is defined as 18.66px and bold or larger, or 24px or larger.

    background-color

    Определяет цвет фона элемента. Хотя это свойство не наследует свойства своего родителя, из-за того, что начальное значение устанавливается прозрачным, цвет фона дочерних элементов совпадает с цветом фона родительского элемента.

    Синтаксис

    background-color: | transparent | inherit

    Значения

    transparent Устанавливает прозрачный фон. inherit Наследует значение родителя.
