Source and scope

Versioned defaults, not a Tailwind-branded color guide.

The token names and values are taken from the default colors export in Tailwind CSS 3.4.17. Hexees groups the repeated #FAFAFA value into one swatch while preserving both token occurrences; applications can customize or replace these defaults.

Hexees is an independent reference and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tailwind Labs.

Tailwind CSS 3.4.17 opaque colors

Deprecated aliases

Five old family names still point to current families.

Tailwind keeps these aliases for compatibility, but its source warns when they are accessed. Prefer the replacement names in new code.

  • Use sky instead of lightBlue (deprecated since {since}).v2.2
  • Use stone instead of warmGray (deprecated since {since}).v3.0
  • Use neutral instead of trueGray (deprecated since {since}).v3.0
  • Use gray instead of coolGray (deprecated since {since}).v3.0
  • Use slate instead of blueGray (deprecated since {since}).v3.0

Context-dependent values

Three exported values are not opaque swatches.

Their computed appearance depends on inheritance, the color property, or the surface underneath, so they are documented separately from fixed sRGB values.

inherit

inherit takes the computed color from the parent element and has no fixed sRGB channels of its own.

currentColor

The current token resolves to currentColor, which follows the element's computed color property rather than a fixed HEX value.

transparent

transparent has zero alpha. Its visible result depends on what lies underneath, so it cannot be evaluated as an opaque swatch by itself.

Accessibility limits

Test the actual pair and every interface state.

The card ratios compare each opaque sRGB value only with black and white. WCAG 2.2 AA requires at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, but a numerical pass covers only that tested pair.

Opacity, gradients, images, font size and weight, hover and disabled states, focus indicators, and neighboring colors need separate checks. A palette token or contrast result is not a blanket conformance claim.

Do not communicate error, success, selection, or required action through color alone; add text, shape, an icon, or another programmatically available cue.
