Tailwind Scale Generator
Utility-First Color Architecture
Why Tailwind's 50-950 scale has become the industry standard.
Tailwind CSS revolutionized web styling by promoting a predefined scale of colors. Instead of arbitrary hex codes scattered through CSS files, Tailwind enforces a **Design System** approach. A standard scale usually includes 11 steps (50 to 950), offering a perfect range for backgrounds (50-100), decorative borders (200-300), body text (400-600), and headings (700-900). Create your own scale using our Tailwind Generator.
Semantic Naming
Don't name colors "red-500". Name them "danger-primary". This allows you to rebrand your entire app (e.g., changing 'danger' to orange) without touching a single HTML file.
primary: colors.indigo,
success: colors.emerald,
warning: colors.amberExporting Config
Our generator creates a ready-to-paste `tailwind.config.js` object. It automatically calculates the interim steps using cubic-bezier interpolation, ensuring that the jump from 400 to 500 feels perceptually identical to the jump from 500 to 600.
