In 2025, Tailwind CSS continues evolving with a focus on developer experience and theming flexibility. This article explores the latest advancements in custom theming in Tailwind CSS. We'll highlight new features and best practices for creating custom themes.
Customizing Colors
With the new color builder, you create custom color variations effortlessly.
// custom-colors.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
primary: {
50: '#e8d6ff',
500: '#6364ff'
}
}
}
}
}
Use your custom colors using theme helpers in any components.
Customizing Breakpoints
Tailwind's responsive breakpoints let you build responsive designs.
// theme.js
theme: {
screens: {
sm: '576px',
md: '768px',
lg: '1024px'
}
}
Use breakpoints in your templates for responsive design.
