Notes
Tailwind Neutral 500 sits at the dead-centre, fully neutral midpoint of the framework's neutral ramp. The hex has no warm or cool cast, which makes it versatile across mixed-temperature palettes for type, borders, and disabled-state surfaces. It serves as a default secondary text colour in technology and business products where the palette already carries warmth from accents. Any accent colour pairs without colour-shift concerns. Body text contrast against white passes AA at standard body sizes; AAA holds only at sizes 18px and above for de-emphasized text use.
