Frequently Asked Questions
Shades vs tints?
Shades mix toward black (hover/darker states), tints toward white (backgrounds). A 10-step scale covers both directions from base.
How many steps?
Ten (50–900 like Tailwind) suits systems; five suffices for single components. Even perceptual steps beat even math.
How are shades named?
Base-50 through base-900 numeric scale travels across tools. Names (light/lighter) break at scale.
Do shade scales upload?
No — generation runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
