Single palettes

Each of the 348 Sanzo Wada combinations has its own ASE, GPL, CSS and Tailwind files. Open a combination and use the download links under its colors.

Using the Tailwind theme

The Tailwind file is a v4 @theme block. Import it after Tailwind and every color becomes a utility named after its slug. 

@import "tailwindcss";
@import "./sanzo-wada-colors-tailwind.css";

<div class="bg-hermosa-pink text-vandyke-brown">…</div>

About the values

Swatch files carry the same sRGB hex values shown on each color page and returned by the free JSON API. Printed swatches and screens never match exactly, so proof anything bound for print.
