Notes
Emerald 600 is the colour Robinhood used during its 2013 launch palette, when the brand wanted a green that felt financial without leaning on the muted bottle-green of legacy banks. Tailwind's hex sits in the same neighbourhood - deeper than the framework's 500, slightly less yellow, a confident jewel-tone green. It works for confirmation states, brand accents in wellness products, or primary type against cream surfaces. A warm coral #fb7185 accent produces a complementary palette that reads modern rather than seasonal. Body text against white passes AA at body sizes and AAA at 16px and above, which makes it safe for long-form copy in green-anchored design systems.
