NodlumeBlush & Slate — a shadcn/ui theme for Tailwind v4
Dusty pink against charcoal — a modern agency and portfolio theme.
Blush & Slate is the agency palette: a dusty blush primary against a charcoal slate secondary, with warm-gray neutrals that photograph well behind case-study imagery. It suits studios, freelancer portfolios, and brand sites that want to feel designed.
Creative Agency is the pairing — a bold geometric heading over a quiet body — and the scale is a perfect fourth so section titles carry the page. A larger radius and a lifted shadow give project cards the feel of printed cards on a desk.
The eight color roles
Every shadcn/ui variable in the export derives from these eight. The dark values are not a second theme: they are the light roles with lightness moved, hue and saturation held, and each pair repaired until it meets its WCAG threshold.
| Role | Light | Dark |
|---|---|---|
| primary | #232e3a | #7993ae |
| secondary | #546a7a | #7790a1 |
| accent | #a0b4c4 | #a0b4c4 |
| background | #f7d6d7 | #220707 |
| surface | #f4c5c6 | #380b0c |
| text | #221111 | #f8f1f1 |
| muted | #8f5658 | #3d2425 |
| border | #dac1c1 | #865151 |
Typography
Montserrat for headings, Open Sans for body copy and ui-monospace for code, on a 16px base with a 1.333 modular ratio.
Shape and elevation
A 0.75rem base radius derives the --radius-sm/md/lg/xl steps; the base shadow derives the four-step elevation scale.
Extended tokens
Foregrounds, destructive, a five-step chart ramp and the sidebar set are derived from the roles — exactly the variables a Tailwind v4 shadcn/ui project reads.
The exported globals.css
This is the stylesheet the generator downloads for this preset — a Tailwind v4 @theme block that any shadcn/ui project can replace its own app/globals.css with. Open the preset in the generator to change anything, preview it on a full landing page, and add the derived .dark block or the W3C design-tokens export.

A preset is a starting point, not a decision. The shadcn/ui theme generator opens this one with every control live — swap the palette, try another of the 67 font pairings, tune the radius — and exports the result. For the thinking behind the roles, read how to build a semantic UI color palette; for how the whole system is generated, read generating custom themes.
