Click or drag anywhere on the wheel to pick a color. The wheel renders gradients across all 360° of hue with lightness fading from center to edge — giving you full HSL control visually. Every pick instantly updates your custom Tailwind scale.
Click the Eyedropper button and pick any color from anywhere on your screen — other browser tabs, your Figma designs, reference images, anything visible. The picked color instantly feeds into the Tailwind CSS scale generator.
The Color Information panel populates instantly as you pick. All nine color models are shown simultaneously. Click any row to copy to clipboard.
Color name detection maps your picked color to the closest named CSS color or Pantone-like name from a curated database of 2000+ color names.
Instantly check if your foreground/background color combination meets WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines — essential when building accessible Tailwind UI components with your custom color scale.
These screenshots use the actual app interface, so visitors can understand the full path from picking one color to shipping a complete Tailwind-ready system.
Start with the wheel, the eyedropper, or manual HEX input. The app immediately shows every key color format, a live contrast checker, tints and shades, and palette-slot assignment for broader workflows.
The component preview screen helps teams see how a selected color behaves across cards, dashboards, CTAs, and product UI, so the system works in interfaces instead of only in isolated swatches.
Once the base hue is chosen, the tool expands it into shades 50 through 950, compares the generated family with the closest official Tailwind palette, and exposes one-click export actions for CSS and config output.
Use this Tailwind color generator when you need more than a single hex value. It connects picking, accessibility, and implementation so designers and developers can work from one source color.
