Under the Hood
Palette generation starts with the base color converted to HSL space. We use a custom lightness curve to generate shades: 50 is near-white (95%+ lightness), 500 is the base color (or close approximation), and 950 is near-black. Saturation is slightly adjusted at the extremes to prevent "muddy" dark colors or "washed out" light colors, mimicking the hand-tuned look of the official Tailwind CSS default palette.
