Tailwind CSS Color Palette Generator - Create Perfect Shades

The Tailwind CSS Color Generator is a powerful tool designed to help developers and designers create consistent, beautiful color palettes for their projects. By generating 12 precisely calculated shades from a single input color, this tool ensures your color system maintains visual harmony across all UI elements.

How the Color Shade Generator Works

Our advanced algorithm uses perceptual color theory to generate shades that appear evenly distributed to the human eye. Simply input any color - whether it's a HEX code, RGB value, or color name - and instantly receive a complete palette following the standard 50-950 scale used by Tailwind CSS. Each shade is carefully calculated to maintain the original hue while adjusting lightness and saturation for optimal results.

Export Formats for Every Workflow

  • Tailwind CSS v3: Export as a JavaScript object ready to paste into your tailwind.config.js file
  • Tailwind CSS v4: Generate CSS custom properties compatible with the latest Tailwind version
  • CSS Variables: Use standard CSS custom properties for any project
  • JSON Format: Perfect for design tokens and programmatic use
  • OKLCH Support: Modern color space for better perceptual uniformity

Built-in Accessibility Features

Every generated palette includes comprehensive WCAG accessibility analysis. Our tool automatically calculates contrast ratios between all shade combinations, clearly marking which pairs meet AA and AAA standards for both normal and large text. The color blindness simulator helps you understand how your palette appears to users with different types of color vision deficiency, ensuring your designs are inclusive and accessible to all users.

Perfect for Design Systems

Whether you're building a new design system from scratch or extending an existing one, this color generator provides the consistency and flexibility you need. Generate multiple palettes for primary, secondary, and accent colors, then export them all together. The tool supports batch processing, allowing you to create a complete color system in minutes rather than hours.
