Colors

The color system is designed to provide a consistent and scalable palette for your design system. It uses the Radix UI Colors tool to generate a range of shades (from light to dark) for each base color. These colors are then integrated into your project using CSS variables, prefixed with color- for easy usage.

Create a custom palette

Key Features

Custom Color Palette: The Radix UI Colors tool generates a scale of shades for each base color, ensuring a harmonious range from light to dark.
CSS Variables: Colors are defined as CSS variables, prefixed with color- for easy reference and usage.
Tailwind CSS v4 Integration: Colors are initialized in your CSS file, making them available for use in your Tailwind CSS v4 project.

To create a custom color palette, follow these steps:

Visit the Radix UI Colors tool.
Input your Accent color (e.g., #3B82F6 for blue).
Input your Gray color (e.g., #E6E6F2 for gray).
Input your Background color (e.g., #FFFFFF for white).
Copy the generated CSS variables.

Example Output:

For a base color of #3B82F6 (blue), the tool might generate:

  }

Integrating Colors into Your CSS File

Once you have your color scales, integrate them into your CSS file. Define the colors as CSS variables under the @theme layer, prefixed with color-.

css

@import "tailwindcss";

@theme {
  ...

  --color-blue-1: #fcfdff;
  --color-blue-2: #f5f9ff;
  --color-blue-3: #eaf2ff;
  --color-blue-4: #dcebff;
  --color-blue-5: #cbe1ff;
  --color-blue-6: #b8d4ff;
  --color-blue-7: #9fc2fb;
  --color-blue-8: #7baaf6;
  --color-blue-9: #3b82f6;
  --color-blue-10: #2c74e9;
  --color-blue-11: #256cde;
  --color-blue-12: #123164;

  --color-blue-a1: #0055ff03;
  --color-blue-a2: #0066ff0a;
  --color-blue-a3: #0062ff15;
  --color-blue-a4: #006eff23;
  --color-blue-a5: #006cff34;
  --color-blue-a6: #0065ff47;
  --color-blue-a7: #005df560;
  --color-blue-a8: #005bee84;
  --color-blue-a9: #005df3c4;
  --color-blue-a10: #0057e5d3;
  --color-blue-a11: #0053d8da;
  --color-blue-a12: #002158ed;

  --color-blue-contrast: #fff;
  --color-blue-surface: #f3f8ffcc;
  --color-blue-indicator: #3b82f6;
  --color-blue-track: #3b82f6;

  ...
}

Using Colors in Your Project

Once the colors are defined as CSS variables, you can use them in your HTML or JSX by referencing the variables.

jsx

...
<div className="text-blue-9">
  This is a blue box with dark blue text.
</div>
...

Example Configuration
