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.

};Usage guidance
Use Sky 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.
