## What it is
A web application that generates 11-color (50-950) palettes for Tailwind CSS from a single hex value, with controls for hue, saturation, and lightness shifts. It also exposes an API for programmatically fetching generated palettes.

## Use cases
- generate a tailwind color palette from a hex value
- create tints and shades for tailwind css
- fetch color palettes via api for design tools
- generate 50-950 color scale for a design system
- convert a brand color into a full tailwind palette

## When to choose
- you use Tailwind CSS and need a full color scale from one base color
- you want an API to generate palettes programmatically
- you want fine control over hue, saturation, and lightness distribution

## When to avoid
- you need palettes for CSS frameworks other than Tailwind's 50-950 scale
- you need API support for HSL tweak options, which is not yet available
