FAQ
How is the scale generated from one color?
The base color's hue and saturation are preserved across all steps, while lightness follows a curve modeled on Tailwind's own default palettes, so the result looks consistent with Tailwind's built-in colors.
Which step matches my original color exactly?
The step closest to your base color's actual lightness keeps your exact hex value; every other step is generated around it.
