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: {
        green: {
          50: "#f0fdf4",
          100: "#dcfce7",
          200: "#bbf7d0",
          300: "#86efac",
          400: "#4ade80",
          500: "#22c55e",
          600: "#16a34a",
          700: "#15803d",
          800: "#166534",
          900: "#14532d",
          950: "#052e16",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

Usage guidance

Use Green 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.
