Notifio's Colour Palette Drifts From Tailwind's Neutral Ramp Across Its Codebases
Notifio's Next.js website and Electron desktop app both use Tailwind v4 but define no colour tokens, so all 1,216 colour values are hard-coded arbitrary literals. An analysis found 62 distinct values, and about 70 percent of them match Tailwind's neutral grey ramp, which emerged through developers copying existing values. The remaining colours include roughly 20 off-ramp greys filling gaps in the dark UI and 32 accent colours, mostly for status indicators in the desktop app. The author also found that Tailwind 4.3.3's neutral-400 is #a1a1a1, not the #a3a3a3 the project uses, so only nine of the 62 values exactly match current Tailwind colours.
