Tailwind CSS Colors

Tailwind CSS provides a wide range of colors to be used across your web projects. Colors can be customized to suit your brand colors and are easily accessible via utility classes.

Syntax

The syntax for Tailwind CSS colors is as follows: 

{property}{color}

Here, {property} is the utility class for color and {color} is the specific color you want to use.

  • bg-red-500 for a red background color
  • text-gray-900 for black text with a gray background
  • border-blue-400 for a blue border

The utility classes for color can be categorized into the following groups:

  • Background Colors: bg-{color}
  • Text Colors: text-{color}
  • Border Colors: border-{color}

The {color} can be a keyword (e.g. red) or can be a hexadecimal value (e.g. #FF0000).

You can also adjust the opacity of the colors using the opacity-{value} utility class.

Use

To use the Tailwind CSS color utility classes, simply add the class to the HTML element you want to style.

For example, to set the background color of a div to red, you would write: 

<div class="bg-red-500">
  <p>Some text</p>
</div>
