Or maybe better to change the mapping fromįoreground / Text default ← Palette / Neutral-600įoreground / Text default ← Palette / Neutral-700 Find any semantic colors mapped on this value and change them by changing hex codes.If I tune spectral color I need to do following: Check colors on components and screens.Foreground / Text lighter ← Palette / Neutral-400.Foreground / Text default ← Palette / Neutral-600.Map colors to that tokens by copying hex values.Build a spectral color pallete using some tool.
What need I do to do to build a color system. Originally it was a feedback to support, but automatic reply replied me to move it here.īuilding a design system is still not a very simple task. So let’s stop pointing out that a Figma library is not a design system.I want to share some thoughts with you. Likewise, not everyone shares our priorities when it comes to design systems work, but putting that on the table means we can negotiate that and come up with a plan. By surfacing discrepancies in our definitions, we can work towards a shared vision. Not everyone shares the same understanding of design systems, and that’s OK. But…Ī Figma library is not a whole design system, but this is rarely the real point worth making. That’s why it’s so important that design systems work is underpinned by regular communication about goals and priorities. And simply saying “that bit you’re working on isn’t a design system” won’t help us bridge the gap. We feel that someone is spending more time on something than it deserves when there’s misalignment between our priorities and theirs. I’ve certainly seen it happen.īut no one is over-focusing on Figma just to piss us off. We might have a perception that our organisation is over-focusing on a Figma library at the expense of other, seemingly more important parts of the system.Īnd we might be right about that. What if we’re spending too much time on our Figma library instead of more important things? These conversations must start from a place of respect, humility, and recognition that there is no single definition of design systems. If people in our organisation are misaligned about the scope of a design system, we’re better off starting a constructive conversation to build shared understanding, instead of lashing out. Saying what design systems are not doesn’t tell people what they are. But as design systems advocates, isn’t it part of our job to educate those around us?
With that said, I do agree that a Figma library does not constitute a whole design system.
#FIGMA DESIGN SYSTEM HOW TO#
And yet I often find myself and other experts disagreeing about their scope, purpose and how to implement them. I consider myself an expert on design systems. I’ve worked in this space for 6 years now. I always urge people to be cautious in assuming that there’s one shared model of design systems, even amongst experts. What if the people we’re working with don’t understand what a design system is?
