Generate a Tailwind-style color palette

A single brand color often needs lighter and darker steps for backgrounds, borders, buttons and text. Pick a base color and this generator creates a 50 to 950 shade scale inspired by Tailwind naming. It is helpful for quick design systems, prototypes, theme tokens and color exploration.
