Before I start please bear in mind I am very new to web development and have just been messing around with tailwind for the last 4-5 hours I am just playing around to figure it out but I cannot understand what is going wrong here.
I have installed Tailwind CSS to my folder as per the instructions on their website and I am pretty sure my config is correct.
Here is my HTML:

<h1 >Johari's Window</h1>
<p >Johari's window is an exercise that is used to improve self-awareness and understanding between individuals. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in 1955.</p>
<p >The exercise involves four quadrants, each representing a different aspect of an individual's self-awareness:</p>
<div class='flex items-center justify-center' x-data="{ reportsOpen: false }">
<div class='w-full max-w-lg px-10 py-8 mx-auto bg-white rounded-lg shadow-xl'>
<div class='max-w-md mx-auto space-y-6'>
<img src='https://tailwindcomponents.com/svg/logo-color.svg' class='h-8' />
<p class='text-gray-600'></p>
<div @click="reportsOpen = !reportsOpen" class='flex items-center text-gray-600 w-full border-b overflow-hidden mt-32 md:mt-0 mb-5 mx-auto'>
<div class='w-10 border-r px-2 transform transition duration-300 ease-in-out' :>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="currentColor" >
<path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M19.5 8.25l-7.5 7.5-7.5-7.5" />
</svg>
</div>
<div class='flex items-center px-2 py-3'>
<div class='mx-3'>
<button >This is where you click to open</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div x-cloak x-show="reportsOpen" x-collapse x-collapse.duration.500ms>
This is a very simple dropdown/accordion/collapse (whatever you call it) using Tailwind, Alpine.js, and the Alpine.js plugin "Collapse" to enable smoother open/collapse transitions than what comes out of the box with Alpine.js
</div>

<p >The goal of the exercise is to move information from the hidden and unknown quadrants into the open quadrant, thereby increasing self-awareness and understanding between individuals.</p>

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.tabs a').click(function() {
var tab = $(this).attr('href');
$('.tab-content').hide();
$(tab).show();
return false;
});
});
</script>
</html>The issue is that when setting the bg color for the element only certain colors seem to work (black, white, red, yellow, blue, etc) but secondary colors (teal, emerald, slate, etc) don't work and I cannot understand why...
In the first snippet when setting the background of the element to bg-teal-600 the background is just white but when I set the color to Red for example:

It looks like you're using the tailwind.min.css file from cdn, which is a minimal version of the stuff tailwind provides and doesn't include all the styles (like teal color).
What you can do to resolve this is to import the fully css file from the tailwind cdn, just like the code below:

Hi, buddy! Looks like you are using the `tailwind.min.css` file from cdn, witch is a minimal version of the things that tailwind provides and does not includes all styles (like special colors).
What you can do to solve this is import the fully css file from the tailwind's cdn, just like the code below:
```
