How to Use This Palette

• In CSS: Paste each hex into your :root custom properties or directly into background-color / color declarations.
• In Figma or Sketch: Copy the hex into any fill or stroke color field. Save each color to your local style library for reuse across frames.
• In Tailwind CSS: Add each hex to your tailwind.config.js file inside theme.extend.colors, then use classes like bg-palette-500.
• In Procreate or Photoshop: Create a new swatch set and paste each hex value. PhotoTones Pro exports ready-to-import .swatches and .ase files, plus brand kit ZIPs with design tokens and Figma JSON.
