# Scroll area: On a colored surface

> The fade is a mask on the content, not an overlay color, so it works on any background.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/scroll-area/examples/colored-surface
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/scroll-area.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/scroll-area-colored-surface.json
```

This adds `components/examples/scroll-area/colored-surface.tsx` with the Scroll area component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

const people = Array.from({ length: 40 }, (_, index) => ({
  id: index + 1,
  name: names[index % names.length],
  role: roles[index % roles.length],
}))

export function ScrollAreaColoredSurface() {
  return (
