Basic usage

Adding sepia filters

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

sepia-0

sepia

<div class="sepia-0 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
<div class="sepia ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Removing filters

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

<div class="blur-md invert sepia md:filter-none">
  <!-- ... -->
</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:sepia-0 to only apply the sepia-0 utility on hover.

<div class="sepia hover:sepia-0">
  <!-- ... -->
</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:sepia-0 to apply the sepia-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="sepia md:sepia-0">
  <!-- ... -->
</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 sepia utilities. You can customize these values by editing theme.sepia or theme.extend.sepia in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      sepia: {
        25: '.25',
        75: '.75',
      }
    }
  }
}

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

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off sepia 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.

<div class="sepia-[.25]">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
