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: {
        teal: {
          50: "#f0fdfa",
          100: "#ccfbf1",
          200: "#99f6e4",
          300: "#5eead4",

          700: "#0f766e",
          800: "#115e59",

    },
  },
};

Usage guidance

Use Teal 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.
