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: {
        orange: {
          50: "#fff7ed",
          100: "#ffedd5",
          200: "#fed7aa",
          300: "#fdba74",

          500: "#f97316",
          600: "#ea580c",
          700: "#c2410c",
          800: "#9a3412",
          900: "#7c2d12",
          950: "#431407",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

Usage guidance

Use Orange 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.
