Frequently Asked Questions
What Tailwind version does this use?
This tool uses the Tailwind CSS v3 default palette — 22 color families (slate, gray, red, blue, etc.) each with 10 shades from 50 to 900, for a total of 220 colors.
How is the nearest color found?
The tool computes Euclidean distance in RGB color space between your input color and all 220 Tailwind palette colors, then returns the closest match.
Can I use the result directly in my code?
Yes! The Tailwind class name (e.g. "bg-blue-500") is ready to paste into your HTML or JSX. You can also use the HEX value in your tailwind.config.js.
Does this work for Tailwind v4?
Tailwind v4 uses the same default color palette values as v3, so the results are compatible. The class name syntax is identical.
