At least in v3, the docs stated:

If you’re wondering how we automatically generated the 50–950 shades of each color, bad news — color is complicated and to get the absolute best results we picked all of Tailwind’s default colors by hand, meticulously balancing them by eye and testing them in real designs to make sure we were happy with them.

And in v4, it states:

carefully crafted by expert designers
