What is the Tailwind Color Generator?

Tailwind's design system expects each color as a 11-step scale (50 through 950). Provide your brand color and this generator computes the full scale by adjusting lightness and saturation around your base — output as CSS custom properties or a Tailwind v4 @theme block.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Where does the base color land in the scale?

Your color anchors the 500-600 range; lighter steps (50-400) and darker steps (700-950) are derived from it.
