Text Color and Opacity
Apply text color utilities from Tailwind's color palette and adjust opacity to create hierarchy and contrast.
Tailwind's Color System
Tailwind ships a rich color palette: 22 colors like blue, indigo, red, and green, each with 11 shades from 50 (near-white) to 950 (near-black). Plenty to work with.
<!-- Tailwind color naming: {color}-{shade} -->

<p class="text-blue-200">Blue 200 (lighter)</p>Applying Text Color
Color text with text-{color}-{shade}. Low shades are light, mid are vivid, high are dark. text-gray-700 reads softly on white; text-gray-900 gives bold contrast.
