# bg-color-variant()

The mixin contains the **two** CSS classes, the CSS class of the name prefixed with `bg-`, and prefixed `#{$prefix}-bg-` with the given [`$name`](#usdname-primary) that includes the [`background`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background) color of the given [`$color`](#usdcolor-primary-color) CSS variable name, and `color` style equal to `light-color` depending on whether the given SCSS variable [`$hex-color`](#usdhex-color-usdprimary-color) lightness is below **`60`**.

By default, [`$prefix`](#usdprefix-usdvar-prefix) is equal to the globally customizable [`$var-prefix`](/variables/css-variable-name.md#usdvar-prefix).

{% hint style="success" %}
The mixin contains additional CSS class that includes in its name global prefix `$var-prefix`. 

`.#{$prefix}-bg-#{$name}`
{% endhint %}

  .#{$prefix}-bg-#{$name} {
    @include background($color, $important: !important);
    @if (lightness($hex-color) < 60) {

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://spectrecss.angular-package.dev/mixin/color/bg-color-variant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
