Eleven shades, from mist-50 to mist-950
Tailwind mist colors
Tailwind CSS 4.3.3 defines eleven mist shades in OKLCH, from mist-50 (#f9fbfb) to mist-950 (#090b0c). On them white text passes WCAG AA from mist-500 to mist-950, and black text from mist-50 to mist-500. Recolor (recolor.page) shows the scale on a real page.

Text on mist, and mist as text
As a text color the rule turns around: mist text on a white page passes AA from mist-500 on, and on a black page up to mist-500, since a contrast ratio is the same whichever color is in front.
It is one of Tailwind's nine grays: its chroma stays at or under 0.021, with a hint of cyan.
All eleven fit inside sRGB, so every hex code here is exact.
