Question

I am building an angular2 app using angular material2. I am trying to set the background of my application \"the correct way\", but I can\'t figure out how.

I found

Answer 1

There is also a mixing for colors like this:

.your-class-here {
   background: mat-color($mat-grey, 700, 0.9);
}

When looking at angular material components you can assign a color like this.

That will make your toolbar the color of your primary color.

also make sure to look at _theming.scss file in angular material.

so you can use those mixins to just pull a color from your palette.
