## 🚀 Next Steps

### For Remaining Bootstrap Pages
When migrating remaining pages from Bootstrap to Tailwind, use the new color palette:

1. Replace Bootstrap classes with Tailwind equivalents
2. Use `navy`, `blue`, `light` instead of custom colors
3. Maintain consistency with updated templates

### For New Pages
1. Import the base layout to inherit color configuration
2. Use the predefined color classes consistently
3. Follow the usage examples above

## 📝 Notes

- The `px-*` colors (rose, orange) are still available in the config for backward compatibility
- Consider phasing out `px-*` colors in future updates for brand consistency
- All new development should use the Al Hammadi color palette exclusively
