Well

Definition

A Well is a basic, generic container with variations for background color. The text color is also configurable via a CSS custom property.

Description

Use a Well to contain content in a less strict way than a Card.

Examples

Well

Variants of the background color are available for all the theme colors, using variant classes. Text will automatically turn the best contrast between white or black. Nested well text color will contrast its direct parent.
