    I’m Derek, an astro-engineer based in Tattooine. I like to build X-Wings at
    <a class="underline decoration-sky-500/30">My Company, Inc</a>.
    Outside of work, I like to <a class="underline decoration-pink-500/30">watch
    pod-racing</a> and have <a class="underline decoration-indigo-500/30">light-saber</a> fights.

You can use any value defined in your , or use arbitrary values if you need to deviate from your design tokens.

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:decoration-blue-400 to only apply the utility on hover.

<p class="underline decoration-sky-600 hover:decoration-blue-400">
</p>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:decoration-blue-400 to apply the decoration-blue-400 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, and other media query modifiers.

tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        'regal-blue': '#243c5a',
      },
    }
  }

Alternatively, you can customize just your text decoration colors by editing theme.textDecorationColor or theme.extend.textDecorationColor in your file.

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the documentation.

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off text-decoration-color value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.
