The author stopped using Tailwind but missed its convenient color palettes. They sought alternatives to Tailwind's color system to improve their workflow. They desired pre-defined color palettes, particularly for ease of use in CSS. The author asked for palette suggestions on Mastodon and decided to compile the responses. The post lists several color palettes like uchū, flexoki, and reasonable colours. Various other palettes and design systems are also provided as options for consideration. A range of color scheme generators are featured, although the author finds them difficult to use. Additional color tools, including colorblindness information and the oklch CSS function, are presented. The author hopes the resource will be useful for themselves and others seeking CSS color solutions.
