What the Tailwind CSS color palette is
Tailwind CSS includes a predefined color palette, organized into named families (Slate, Gray, Red, Orange, Blue...) and eleven shades per family, numbered from 50 (lightest) to 950 (darkest). That numbering has become a de facto standard that many other projects and libraries have adopted, beyond Tailwind.
Tailwind version 4 changed the internal color format from RGB to OKLCH, a perceptual color space that represents hues more evenly for the human eye. The result is more consistent lightness steps across each family’s shades, while traditional Hex and RGB values remain available when you need them.
How to use the table
Switch between v3 and v4 to match the version in your project, and between Hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH depending on what you need to copy. Click any shade to copy its code instantly.
Frequently asked questions
v4 uses the OKLCH color space internally, which gives more even lightness steps between shades. v3 uses traditional Hex and RGB values. Both keep the same family and shade numbering.
It’s Tailwind’s standard scale: 50 is the lightest shade (almost white) and 950 the darkest (almost black), with intermediate steps meant to cover backgrounds, text, borders and states consistently across an interface.
If you use Tailwind’s default colors, they are already available with classes like bg-blue-500 or text-red-700 with no extra setup. You only need the codes from this table if you want to reuse the color outside Tailwind.
OKLCH is a color space where lightness is calculated perceptually, so two colors with the same lightness value look equally light to the human eye. That produces more even color scales than those based on traditional RGB.
Yes. The table lets you switch between Hex, RGB, HSL and OKLCH, and copy any of them with one click.
