Styles Colour

The NHS App design system used to extend the NHS design system colour palette with tints and shades, for use on the tag and card links components.

These tints and shades have now been added to the NHS design system, from version 1.7.0.

The nhsapp-colour() function has now been deprecated from version 5.4.0 and will be removed in version 6.0.0. Use nhsuk-colour() instead.
