#What is Shadcn Themes?

Shadcn Themes is a free, open-source theme editor designed to empower developers with precise control over shadcn/ui color schemes. Created to solve the challenge of building harmonious, brand-aligned palettes, its primary goal is to generate stunning, optimized themes for React projects, targeting developers crafting dashboards, landing pages, or SaaS apps. Built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS (v3/v4), the tool locks the primary color for inspiration while auto-generating complementary hues, ensuring destructive colors stay in the red range for consistency. Users can preview palettes across UI elements like buttons, cards, and modals, then export via shadcn/ui CLI for seamless integration. For shadcn/ui users, Shadcn Themes is a perfect fit, providing unparalleled customization to make themes truly "yours,".
