How to change table background color in bootstrap

In twitter-bootstrap-3 is there any way you can use a built in bootstrap color scheme? This code wouldn't work, and I have tried "Active" and "Success" for colors instead of background-color, but they didn't work.

Examples Due to the widespread use of tables across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, we’ve designed our tables to be opt-in. Just add the base class .table to any , then extend with custom styles or our various included modifier classes. Using the most basic table markup, here’s how .table-based tables look in Bootstrap. All table styles are inherited in Bootstrap 4, meaning any nested tables will be styled in the same manner as the parent. # First Last Handle 1 Mark Otto @mdo 2 Jacob Thornton @fat 3 Larry the Bird @twitter class="table">

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-dark.

 class="table table-dark">

       scope="col">First
       scope="col">Last

Table head options

Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes .thead-light or .thead-dark to make s appear light or dark gray.

 class="table">

       scope="col">#
       scope="col">First

Hoverable rows

Add .table-hover to enable a hover state on table rows within a .

       scope="col">#
       scope="col">First
       scope="col">Last

Small table

Add .table-sm to make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half.

 class="table table-sm">
  
    
       scope="col">#
       scope="col">First
       scope="col">Last

       scope="row">3

Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.

 class="table-active">...

 class="table-primary">...
 class="table-secondary">...
 class="table-success">...
 class="table-danger">...
 class="table-warning">...
 class="table-info">...
 class="table-light">...
 class="table-dark">...



   class="table-active">...

   class="table-primary">...
   class="table-secondary">...
   class="table-success">...
   class="table-danger">...
   class="table-warning">...
   class="table-info">...
   class="table-light">...
   class="table-dark">...

Regular table background variants are not available with the dark table, however, you may use text or background utilities to achieve similar styles.

 class="bg-primary">...
 class="bg-success">...
 class="bg-warning">...
 class="bg-danger">...
 class="bg-info">...



   class="bg-primary">...
   class="bg-success">...
   class="bg-warning">...
   class="bg-danger">...
   class="bg-info">...

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-only class.

Create responsive tables by wrapping any .table with .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}, making the table scroll horizontally at each max-width breakpoint of up to (but not including) 576px, 768px, 992px, and 1120px, respectively.

Note that since browsers do not currently support range context queries, we work around the limitations of min- and max- prefixes and viewports with fractional widths (which can occur under certain conditions on high-dpi devices, for instance) by using values with higher precision for these comparisons.

Captions

A functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it’s about and decide if they want to read it.

Responsive tables

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a .table with .table-responsive. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}.

Vertical clipping/truncation

Responsive tables make use of overflow-y: hidden, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.

Always responsive

Across every breakpoint, use .table-responsive for horizontally scrolling tables.
