}Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles
The Tailwind scale anchors the base color at index 500. Lighter variants (50-400) are mapped through a non-linear luminance curve with targeted saturation dampening.
Darker variants (600-950) apply progressive attenuation down to L = 2% for step 950, producing balanced contrast for dark mode UI backgrounds and text hierarchies.
