Tailwind Indigo 600

Indigo 600 is the hex Tailwind picked as the default brand accent in its v1 marketing site, and the choice rippled through hundreds of imitators in the years that followed. The value reads as serious and slightly mysterious - the colour Stripe might have used had Stripe not got there first with its own blue. It pairs cleanly with a warm cream #fef3c7 for type-heavy editorial layouts and with deep coral for a colour-blocked landing page. Body text against white passes AA at body sizes and AAA at 16px and above, which makes Indigo 600 a safe default for primary copy in design systems built around violet or purple accents.
