#What is Tailwind Color Shades Generator?

Tailwind Color Shades Generator, created by Javis V. Pérez, is a free, open-source tool designed to simplify custom color palette creation for Tailwind CSS projects. Built with Vue.js, it generates 10 shades (50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 700, 800, 900, 950) from a single input color, producing Tailwind CSS config code for easy integration. It fits the All UtilityCSS platform’s Tailwind CSS List, ideal for developers looking to create consistent, utility-first color schemes for web projects like SaaS apps or portfolios.

#Features ⚡️

• Shade Generation: Creates 5 tints (50-400) and 5 shades (600-950) from a given color.

• Tailwind CSS Integration: Outputs config code for utility-first styling (e.g., bg-custom-500).

• Custom Naming: Automatically generates class names, editable for flexibility.

• Copy-Paste Ready: Easily copy generated config into tailwind.config.js.

• Permalink Sharing: Share custom palettes via URL, though renaming doesn’t update the link (user feedback).

• Responsive Interface: Simple, browser-based UI built with Vue.js.
