Learn more about theme variables in the [theme variables documentation](/docs/theme).

### Custom color for specific utility

If you want to declare a color specifically for a single utility, you should prefix the `--color-*` theme namespace with the corresponding utility:

```css
/* [!code filename:CSS] */
@import "tailwindcss";

/* [!code highlight:6] */
@theme {
--background-color-midnight: #121063; /* for only bg-midnight */
--text-color-tahiti: #3ab7bf; /* for only text-tahiti */
--border-color-bermuda: #78dcca; /* for only border-bermuda */
}
```

Now, the `midnight` color can only be used with the `bg-*` utility, `tahiti` only with `text-*`, and `bermuda` only with `border-*`.
