Frequently asked questions
How is the nearest color found?
We compute the CIELAB ΔE distance from your color to every Tailwind shade and return the closest match — perceptually accurate, not just numeric.
Which Tailwind version is used?
The default Tailwind v3 palette of core color families, each with shades 50 through 900.
What does a distance of 0 mean?
A ΔE of 0 means your color is an exact Tailwind color, so you can use its class name directly with no visible difference.
