Notes
Gray 600 is Tailwind's workhorse body-type colour for any product that wants to feel calm and current - the value Linear, Vercel's marketing site, and Cal.com all sit within a few delta-E units of for their default body copy. The cool undertone keeps it from feeling aged compared to warmer Stone or Zinc alternatives. Body text against white passes AAA at every standard size, which is the property that makes it the default copy colour in so many modern design systems. The slight blue cast plays well with cool and warm chromatic accents alike.
