Notes
Purple 600 is the colour of premium and the colour of trouble - Cadbury, Asprey, and FedEx have all leaned on tones in this band for primary identity work. Tailwind's hex pulls slightly toward magenta compared with the framework's Violet 600, which gives it a warmer presence than the cooler Indigo 600 next door. It works as a primary brand colour for arts-and-culture products or as a hover state above Purple 500 buttons. A chartreuse accent gives the Cadbury-style poster palette; charcoal handles type-heavy layouts. Body text against white passes AA at body sizes and AAA at 16px and above.
