  2. Lightest/Darkest Points
    • Control shade range
    • Adjust for more/less contrast
  3. Enable/Disable Individual Shades
    • Only generate shades you use
    • Prevents bloat – cleaner autocomplete
  4. Custom Shade Names

Replace Mode

Toggle “Extend Colors” → OFF (Settings tab)

Result: Only your custom colors exist. Tailwind defaults removed.

Why use this?

  --color-brand-500: #3b82f6;  /* Only yours */
}
