How to change the color of a Bootstrap disabled button

Learn, how to change the color of a Bootstrap disabled button with the help of examples.

We mostly disabled the button when a input text element is empty or a checkbox is not checked in the signup forms.

Consider, we have a following disabled bootstrap button in our HTML:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" disabled>Primary</button>

Normally, it will show the primary if button is disabled because bootstrap doesn’t any styles for the disabled.

To change the color of a disabled button in Bootstarp. First, select the button inside the css file using the class selector or id selector, add a :disabled pseudo-class next to it, then style the disabled button according to your requirement.

Note: The :disabled pseudo-class selector matches every disabled element.

Here is an example:

.btn .btn-primary:disabled{
    background: "#ccc";
    color: "#0000"
}

It adds a above background color and font color to the button when it is disabled.

If your button has a id selector, then you can disable the button like this:

<button id="login" class="btn btn-primary" disabled>Primary</button>

#login:disabled{
    background: "#ccc";
    color: "#0000"
}
