Notes
Tailwind Lime 500 is the bright yellow-green that anchors the framework's lime ramp. The hex carries high chroma and reads as energetic and slightly artificial, suitable for sports, gaming, or food branding. Against white the body text contrast fails AA at every size - strictly backgrounds, fills, and decorative accents with dark text overlays. Deep navy or charcoal handles type contrast cleanly in surface-and-text combinations. Body text contrast against white fails AA at every standard size; the value works only as a surface or marker.
