The alerts are most frequently used along with forms to give the user a tip if a field has been filled in incorrectly, which is the correct format expected or which is the status of the submission once the submit button has been pressed.

As the majority of the elements in the Bootstrap framework the alerts also do have a neat predefined presentation and semantic classes which can possibly be used according the particular situation where the Bootstrap Alert Colors has been presented on display. Because it's an alert message it's important to obtain user's focus but after all keep him in the zone of comfort nevertheless it might even be an error message.

Color of the url

This might actually not be seen at a glance but the font color itself is actually following this color scheme too-- just the color options are much much darker so get intuitively seen as dark however it's not exactly so.

Exact same runs not only for the alert message in itself but even for the links incorporated in it-- there are link classes taking off the outline and coloring the anchor elements in the appropriate color tone so they fit the overall alert text appearance.

Extra important information for alerts

A aspect to keep in mind-- the colors carry their clear meaning only for those who actually get to see them. It's a good thing to either make sure the visible text itself carries the meaning of the

alert well enough or to eventually add some additional descriptions to only be seen by the screen readers in order to grant the page's accessibility.

Together with links and basic HTML tags like strong for example the alert elements in Bootstrap 4 can also include Headings and paragraphs for the cases when you would like to present a bit longer content.

<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-heading">Well done!</h4>
  <p>Aww yeah, you successfully read this important alert message. This example text is going to run a bit longer so that you can see how spacing within an alert works with this kind of content.</p>
  <p class="mb-0">Whenever you need to, be sure to use margin utilities to keep things nice and tidy.</p>
</div>

Dismiss the alert

Once more ensure the visual comfort of the visitors, you can also add an X icon to dismiss the alert and add a cool transition to it to.

<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
  <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">
    <span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
  </button>
  <strong>Holy guacamole!</strong> You should check in on some of those fields below.
</div>

Currently there are four varieties of contextual alert messages in Bootstrap 4 framework - they are titled Success, Info, Warning and Danger. Do not let however their titles to limit the manner in which you're making use of them-- these are simply a number of color schemes and the method they will be actually implemented in your website is totally up to you and fully depends on the particular scenario.

For example-- if the color scheme of your page works with the red as major color tone it may be very most suitable to display the alert for successful form submission in red as well making use of the predefined alert danger visual aspect in order to better blend with the webpage and save some time specifying your own classes.

Anyway the predefined alert classes are simply some consistent appearances and the responsibility for using them lays entirely on the designer's shoulders.
