How it works

Your base color becomes the 500 shade. The remaining ten steps are generated in the OKLCH color space β€” the same perceptually uniform model behind modern CSS oklch() β€” by sweeping lightness from near-white (50) to near-black (950) while preserving your hue and tapering chroma so every step stays in the sRGB gamut.

Because lightness moves in equal perceptual steps, the scale looks smooth and natural β€” no muddy mid-tones, no neon jumps. Use the exported @theme block with Tailwind CSS v4, or the config snippet with v3, and reference shades like bg-brand-500.
