Harold Bloom was born on July 11, 1930 in New York City. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Cornell in 1951 and his Doctorate from Yale in 1955. After graduating from Yale, Bloom remained there as a teacher, and was made Sterling Professor of Humanities in 1983. Bloom’s theories have changed the way that critics think of literary tradition and has also focused his attentions on history and the Bible. He has written over twenty books and edited countless others. He is one of the most famous critics in the world and considered an expert in many fields. In 2010 he became a founding patron of Ralston College, a new institution in Savannah, Georgia, that focuses on primary texts. His works include Fallen Angels, Till I End My Song: A Gathering of Last Poems, Anatomy of Influence: Literature as a Way of Life and The Shadow of a Great Rock: A Literary Appreciation of The King James Bible. Harold Bloom passed away on October 14, 2019 in New Haven, at the age of 89.

Background
Convey meaning through background-color and add decoration with gradients.
On this page
Similar to the contextual text color classes, set the background of an element to any contextual class. Background utilities do not set color , so in some cases you’ll want to use .text-* color utilities.

By adding a .bg-gradient class, a linear gradient is added as background image to the backgrounds. This gradient starts with a semi-transparent white which fades out to the bottom.
Do you need a gradient in your custom CSS? Just add background-image: var(–bs-gradient); .
.bg-primary.bg-gradient
.bg-secondary.bg-gradient
.bg-success.bg-gradient
.bg-danger.bg-gradient
.bg-warning.bg-gradient
.bg-info.bg-gradient
.bg-light.bg-gradient
.bg-dark.bg-gradient
As of v5.1.0, background-color utilities are generated with Sass using CSS variables. This allows for real-time color changes without compilation and dynamic alpha transparency changes.
How it works
Consider our default .bg-success utility.
.bg-success --bs-bg-opacity: 1; background-color: rgba(var(--bs-success-rgb), var(--bs-bg-opacity)) !important; > We use an RGB version of our –bs-success (with the value of 25, 135, 84 ) CSS variable and attached a second CSS variable, –bs-bg-opacity , for the alpha transparency (with a default value 1 thanks to a local CSS variable). That means anytime you use .bg-success now, your computed color value is rgba(25, 135, 84, 1) . The local CSS variable inside each .bg-* class avoids inheritance issues so nested instances of the utilities don’t automatically have a modified alpha transparency.
Example
To change that opacity, override –bs-bg-opacity via custom styles or inline styles.
This is default success background
This is 50% opacity success background
div class="bg-success p-2 text-white">This is default success backgrounddiv> div class="bg-success p-2" style="--bs-bg-opacity: .5;">This is 50% opacity success backgrounddiv>Or, choose from any of the .bg-opacity utilities:
This is default success background
This is 75% opacity success background
This is 50% opacity success background
This is 25% opacity success background
This is 10% opacity success background
div class="bg-success p-2 text-white">This is default success backgrounddiv> div class="bg-success p-2 text-white bg-opacity-75">This is 75% opacity success backgrounddiv> div class="bg-success p-2 text-dark bg-opacity-50">This is 50% opacity success backgrounddiv> div class="bg-success p-2 text-dark bg-opacity-25">This is 25% opacity success backgrounddiv> div class="bg-success p-2 text-dark bg-opacity-10">This is 10% opacity success backgrounddiv>Sass
In addition to the following Sass functionality, consider reading about our included CSS custom properties (aka CSS variables) for colors and more.
Variables
Most background-color utilities are generated by our theme colors, reassigned from our generic color palette variables.
$blue: #0d6efd; $indigo: #6610f2; $purple: #6f42c1; $pink: #d63384; $red: #dc3545; $orange: #fd7e14; $yellow: #ffc107; $green: #198754; $teal: #20c997; $cyan: #0dcaf0; $primary: $blue; $secondary: $gray-600; $success: $green; $info: $cyan; $warning: $yellow; $danger: $red; $light: $gray-100; $dark: $gray-900; $gradient: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba($white, .15), rgba($white, 0)); Grayscale colors are also available, but only a subset are used to generate any utilities.
$white: #fff; $gray-100: #f8f9fa; $gray-200: #e9ecef; $gray-300: #dee2e6; $gray-400: #ced4da; $gray-500: #adb5bd; $gray-600: #6c757d; $gray-700: #495057; $gray-800: #343a40; $gray-900: #212529; $black: #000; Map
Theme colors are then put into a Sass map so we can loop over them to generate our utilities, component modifiers, and more.
$theme-colors: ( "primary": $primary, "secondary": $secondary, "success": $success, "info": $info, "warning": $warning, "danger": $danger, "light": $light, "dark": $dark ); Grayscale colors are also available as a Sass map. This map is not used to generate any utilities.
$grays: ( "100": $gray-100, "200": $gray-200, "300": $gray-300, "400": $gray-400, "500": $gray-500, "600": $gray-600, "700": $gray-700, "800": $gray-800, "900": $gray-900 ); RGB colors are generated from a separate Sass map:
$theme-colors-rgb: map-loop($theme-colors, to-rgb, "$value"); And background color opacities build on that with their own map that’s consumed by the utilities API:
$utilities-bg: map-merge( $utilities-colors, ( "black": to-rgb($black), "white": to-rgb($white), "body": to-rgb($body-bg) ) ); $utilities-bg-colors: map-loop($utilities-bg, rgba-css-var, "$key", "bg"); Mixins
No mixins are used to generate our background utilities, but we do have some additional mixins for other situations where you’d like to create your own gradients.
@mixin gradient-bg($color: null) background-color: $color; @if $enable-gradients background-image: var(--#$variable-prefix>gradient); > > // Horizontal gradient, from left to right // // Creates two color stops, start and end, by specifying a color and position for each color stop. @mixin gradient-x($start-color: $gray-700, $end-color: $gray-800, $start-percent: 0%, $end-percent: 100%) background-image: linear-gradient(to right, $start-color $start-percent, $end-color $end-percent); > // Vertical gradient, from top to bottom // // Creates two color stops, start and end, by specifying a color and position for each color stop. @mixin gradient-y($start-color: $gray-700, $end-color: $gray-800, $start-percent: null, $end-percent: null) background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, $start-color $start-percent, $end-color $end-percent); > @mixin gradient-directional($start-color: $gray-700, $end-color: $gray-800, $deg: 45deg) background-image: linear-gradient($deg, $start-color, $end-color); > @mixin gradient-x-three-colors($start-color: $blue, $mid-color: $purple, $color-stop: 50%, $end-color: $red) background-image: linear-gradient(to right, $start-color, $mid-color $color-stop, $end-color); > @mixin gradient-y-three-colors($start-color: $blue, $mid-color: $purple, $color-stop: 50%, $end-color: $red) background-image: linear-gradient($start-color, $mid-color $color-stop, $end-color); > @mixin gradient-radial($inner-color: $gray-700, $outer-color: $gray-800) background-image: radial-gradient(circle, $inner-color, $outer-color); > @mixin gradient-striped($color: rgba($white, .15), $angle: 45deg) background-image: linear-gradient($angle, $color 25%, transparent 25%, transparent 50%, $color 50%, $color 75%, transparent 75%, transparent); > Utilities API
Background utilities are declared in our utilities API in scss/_utilities.scss . Learn how to use the utilities API.

If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling
If it’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die is a must-read book for all film students, film professionals, and others interested in filmmaking. This enlightening book guides filmmakers toward making the right color selections for their films, and helps movie buffs understand why they feel the way they do while watching movies that incorporate certain colors.
Guided by her twenty-five years of research on the effects of color on behavior, Bellantoni has grouped more than 60 films under the spheres of influence of six major colors, each of which triggers very specific emotional states. For example, the author explains that films with a dominant red influence have themes and characters that are powerful, lusty, defiant, anxious, angry, or romantic and discusses specific films as examples. She explores each film, describing how, why, and where a color influences emotions, both in the characters on screen and in the audience. Each color section begins with an illustrated Home Page that includes examples, anecdotes, and tips for using or avoiding that particular color.
Conversations with the author’s colleagues– including award-winning production designers Henry Bumstead (Unforgiven) and Wynn Thomas (Malcolm X) and renowned cinematographers Roger Deakins (The Shawshank Redemption) and Edward Lachman (Far From Heaven)–reveal how color is often used to communicate what is not said.
Bellantoni uses her research and experience to demonstrate how powerful color can be and to increase readers awareness of the colors around us and how they make us feel, act, and react.
*Learn how your choice of color can influence an audience’s moods, attitudes, reactions, and interpretations of your movie’s plot
*See your favorite films in a new light as the author points out important uses of color, both instinctive and intentional
*Learn how to make good color choices, in your film and in your world.
