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: {
        lime: {
          50: "#f7fee7",
          100: "#ecfccb",
          200: "#d9f99d",
          300: "#bef264",
          400: "#a3e635",
          500: "#84cc16",
          600: "#65a30d",
          700: "#4d7c0f",
          800: "#3f6212",
          900: "#365314",
          950: "#1a2e05",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

Usage guidance

Use Lime 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.
