The big range of available colors will help you show your buttons' purpose and make them easy to spot. ```html example code centered separated Primary Secondary Success Warning Danger Info Dark Light ``` ## Disabled buttons Make buttons look inactive to show that an action is possible once the user meets certain criteria, such as completing the required fields to submit a form. ```html example code centered separated Primary Secondary Success Warning Danger Info Dark Light ``` ## Color variations Choose the right color for your button to make it go well with your design and draw users' attention. Button colors can have a big influence on users' decisions, which is why it's important to choose them based on the intended purpose. ```html example code centered separated Blue Azure Indigo Purple Pink Red Orange Yellow Lime Green Teal Cyan ``` ## Ghost buttons Use the `.btn-ghost-*` class to make your button look simple yet aesthetically appealing.

Thanks to that, you can save space and make the action easy to recognize for international users. ```html example centered separated ``` ```html ``` ## Dropdown buttons Create a dropdown button that will encourage users to click for more options. You can add a label with an icon or remove the label and add an icon on its own if you want to save space. Choose the option that will best suit your design and improve the user experience. ```html example centered separated ``` ```html ``` ## Loading buttons Add the `.btn-loading` class to show a button's loading state, which can be useful in the case of operations that take longer to process. Thanks to that, users will be aware of the current state of their action and won't give it up before it's finished. ```html example centered separated Button Loading button with loooong content ``` ```html Button Loading button with loooong content ``` ```html example Button ``` ```html Button ``` ## List of buttons Create a list of buttons using the `.btn-list` container to display different actions a user can take.
