 # Frontend Complete Refactoring & Standardization Plan
 
+## ✅ STATUS: TAILWIND DEFAULT COLORS DISABLED
+
+**As of 2026-01-01**: All Tailwind default color palettes (blue-500, red-600, green-400, etc.) have been **disabled** via `@theme` in `design-system.css`. Only our custom design system colors work now.
+
+### What's Disabled (via `@theme { --color-*-*: initial; }`)
+- `red-*`, `orange-*`, `amber-*`, `yellow-*`, `lime-*`
+- `green-*`, `emerald-*`, `teal-*`, `cyan-*`, `sky-*`
+- `blue-*`, `indigo-*`, `violet-*`, `fuchsia-*`, `pink-*`, `rose-*`
+- `slate-*`, `zinc-*`, `neutral-*`, `stone-*`
+
+### What WORKS (our design system)
+- `brand-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-primary`
+- `success-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-success`
+- `warning-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-warning`
+- `error-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-danger`
+- `purple-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-purple`
+- `gray-*` (25-950) - derived from `--color-gray-base`
+- `blue-light-*` - info/link colors (derived from primary)
+
+---
+
 ## 🎯 Objective
 
 **Completely remove Tailwind default styles** and refactor the entire frontend to use **ONLY** the custom design system defined in `/src/styles/design-system.css`.
