A4.4/5.0

Scored across 5 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct operation: convert_color converts a single CSS color, generate_palette creates a full custom palette, find_closest_tailwind_color maps an arbitrary color to the nearest default shade, get_tailwind_palette retrieves exact default values, and list_tailwind_colors enumerates available names. Descriptions explicitly guide when to use one over another, eliminating ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (convert_color, generate_palette, get_tailwind_palette, list_tailwind_colors), with find_closest_tailwind_color being a natural and readable variation. No mixed conventions or confusing prefixes.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is well-scoped for a focused Tailwind color utility, covering conversion, lookup, closest-match, generation, and listing without redundancy or unnecessary depth.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers core workflows: single-color conversion, default palette lookup by version, closest-color matching, and custom palette generation. Minor gaps exist, such as generate_palette not explicitly supporting version-specific output formats (e.g., hex for v3) and no bulk conversion for custom palettes, but these are workable.

Available Tools

5 tools
convert_colorConvert a colorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Converts any CSS color to oklch(), hex and rgb, formatted like Tailwind (oklch() is what Tailwind v4 uses). Colors outside a format are mapped into it: oklch() to Display P3 like Tailwind's palette, hex and rgb to sRGB. Use it for one value; to add a color with all its shades, call generate_palette instead.

Inputs: color (required). Returns: hex, rgb, oklch

find_closest_tailwind_colorFind the closest Tailwind colorA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Finds the shade in Tailwind's default palette that looks most like a given color, e.g. #db4d53 -> red-500. Use it to pick an existing Tailwind class (bg-red-500) instead of an arbitrary value. If the difference is visible, use generate_palette to add the exact color as a custom palette instead.

Inputs: color (required), tailwindVersion. Returns: name, input, shade, distance, +4 more

generate_paletteGenerate a Tailwind paletteA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Generates a full Tailwind CSS palette (50-950) from one color, ready to paste. Call it whenever you add a color to a Tailwind theme (e.g. "add a brand color #db4d53"), instead of writing a single variable or inventing shades. The input color stays exactly at its best-fit shade, and the other shades follow the closest Tailwind color, so they look like Tailwind's own.

Inputs: color (required), name, plain, format, +3 more. Returns: code, name, avoid, format, +7 more

get_tailwind_paletteGet Tailwind's default colorsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Looks up Tailwind's own default colors, exactly as Tailwind defines them: a whole color (e.g. "blue", all shades) or one shade (e.g. "slate-500"), for Tailwind v4, v3, v2 or v1. Use it instead of writing default Tailwind color values from memory. Values are oklch() in v4 and hex in older versions.

Inputs: name (required), tailwindVersion. Returns: name, shades, tailwindVersion

list_tailwind_colorsList Tailwind's default colorsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Lists the names of Tailwind's default colors for a Tailwind version (e.g. red, slate, mauve in v4), with the shades each one has and its 500 value as a sample. Use it to see which colors exist before calling get_tailwind_palette or picking a utility class.

Inputs: tailwindVersion. Returns: colors, shades, tailwindVersion
