Usage Guidelines

This component is useful for displaying short important bits of content, typically at the top of a page. On mobile the additional text is hidden behind a toggle dropdown.

The color of a snipe can be changed by adding a u-bg-- utility class to the main element. Note that the expanded section on mobile is designed to stay white, no matter if the main color changes.
