Notes
Tailwind Sky 500 sits at the bright, slightly cyan-leaning blue centre of the framework's sky ramp. The hex falls between Cyan and Blue in hue, brighter than Blue 500 and slightly warmer than Cyan 500. It pulls duty as a primary brand colour for travel, weather, or aviation products. Against white the body text contrast is borderline at small sizes; headlines and dark text overlays on button surfaces are the safest territory. Body text contrast against white passes AA only at sizes 18px and above; smaller body text needs the 600 stop.
