Tailwind CSS Accent Color Class Examples

Below are examples of Tailwind CSS Accent Color classes, which show how to apply different colors to text accents. Each example uses a specific class to create various visual effects.

Applying Accent Color Classes

Tailwind CSS's accent-color-* classes allow you to easily apply different colors and shades to highlights on your elements. Each class combines a color name (e.g., 'red', 'blue', etc.) with a numeric value (e.g., '300', '400', '500') to indicate the shade intensity from light to dark.

This example shows how Tailwind CSS Accent Color classes change the colors of radio button accents by applying different shades.
