Metronic - Tailwind CSS Theming

Metronic leverages KtUI theme variables to manage the global appearance of components, ensuring a seamless and consistent look across both light and dark modes. You can easily customize colors to align with your project's branding by using the extensive Tailwind CSS color palette or defining your own custom colors in the Tailwind configuration or KtUI theme files. For detailed guidance, refer to the Tailwind Colors documentation.
