Copy-ready Tailwind config

Use a complete class-safe object in your config or token layer. Keeping the full class names and shade keys visible helps build tools and search engines understand the generated code.

export default {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        emerald: {
          50: "#ecfdf5",
          100: "#d1fae5",
          200: "#a7f3d0",
          300: "#6ee7b7",
          400: "#34d399",
          500: "#10b981",
          600: "#059669",
          700: "#047857",
          800: "#065f46",
          900: "#064e3b",
          950: "#022c22",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

Usage guidance

Use Emerald 50-100 for subtle surfaces, 200-300 for tinted backgrounds, 400-600 for visible accents, and 700-950 for strong text, deep surfaces, or dark-mode emphasis.

For accessibility, test real text sizes and weights before shipping. A shade that passes for large labels may still be weak for compact body copy, disabled states, or small badges.
