The contrast provided by the border-gray-200 Tailwind utility class is very poor. It's nearly impossible to distinguish the edges of an input field on a white background. That's not a great default experience for Rails scaffolds. With a slight bump to border-gray-400, things are much easier to distinguish.

Looks better, thank you! I think this is a better default. For what it's worth, it matches what Tailwind uses in their Forms examples. |

Namefield at the top:Safari:

With a stock Rails 7.1 app, I genuinely could not distinguish the edges of any input field until I made this change. I think the examples speak for themselves. I can understand the desire for subtlety but I think this change would be beneficial. I'm deliberately not address a similar issue with non-call-to-action buttons in this PR, in case there's disagreement.
