Notes
Tailwind Stone 500 anchors the framework's stone ramp at mid-light. The hex carries a slight yellow undertone that distinguishes it from cooler neutrals like Slate or Zinc at the same stop. It handles secondary type, borders, and disabled-state surfaces in editorial, hospitality, or heritage products. The warm cast pairs especially well with terracotta and brass for accents and with cream surfaces. Body text contrast against white passes AA at standard body sizes; AAA holds only at sizes 18px and above for de-emphasized text and small label use.
