Basic usage

Making an element grayscale

Use the grayscale and grayscale-0 utilities to control whether an element should be rendered as grayscale or in full color.

Grayscale - 图1

  1. <div class="grayscale-0 ...">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>
  4. <div class="grayscale ...">
  5. <!-- ... -->
  6. </div>

Removing filters

To remove all of the filters on an element at once, use the filter-none utility:

  1. <div class="blur-md invert grayscale md:filter-none">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

This can be useful when you want to remove filters conditionally, such as on hover or at a particular breakpoint.


Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:grayscale-0 to only apply the grayscale-0 utility on hover.

  1. <div class="grayscale hover:grayscale-0">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:grayscale-0 to apply the grayscale-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

  1. <div class="grayscale md:grayscale-0">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.


Using custom values

Customizing your theme

By default, Tailwind includes a handful of general purpose grayscale utilities. You can customize these values by editing theme.grayscale or theme.extend.grayscale in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js

  1. module.exports = { theme: { extend: { grayscale: { 50: '50%', } } }}

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off grayscale value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

  1. <div class="grayscale-[50%]">
  2. <!-- ... -->
  3. </div>

Learn more about arbitrary value support in the arbitrary values documentation.
