## What it is
colors.css is a tiny CSS library (~900 bytes) providing better default color classes for text, backgrounds, borders, and SVG fills/strokes. It offers a curated palette of skin classes for fast prototyping in the browser.

## Use cases
- quickly color prototypes in the browser
- replace default web color palette with nicer defaults
- apply consistent text and background color classes
- style svg fills and strokes with utility classes
- set border colors with utility css classes

## When to choose
- you want a tiny, dependency-free color utility stylesheet
- you are prototyping and need quick skin classes
- you want a curated default color palette for a site

## When to avoid
- you need a full design system or theming framework
- you require dynamic or runtime theming
- you need accessibility-audited color contrast guarantees
