Colors

Primitive Colors provide the base palette and Semantic Colors provide theme-aware coloring — a two-layer system. CSS variable-based and framework-agnostic

Primitive Colors

The foundational color palette — these values are referenced by Semantic Tokens

Customizable

Freely customizable to match your brand. In your implementation, use Semantic Tokens likebg-primaryinstead of raw primitive values

gray

Neutral color — the UI foundation for backgrounds, borders, and text. Dark-mode optimized

primary

Brand color — used for primary actions, links, and emphasis

secondary

Used for secondary actions and supplemental UI elements

blue

Info color representing information, links, and in-progress states

green

Success color representing completion and positive states

yellow

Warning color for states requiring attention

red

Error color for errors, deletion, and destructive actions

Semantic Colors

Theme-aware colors that automatically adapt between light and dark mode — the same CSS variable holds different values in each mode

CSS → Tailwind Naming Rules

--color-is stripped from the variable name to form the Tailwind class name.

Basic

--color-primary → bg-primary

--color-text-*

--color-text-link → text-text-link

CSS × Tailwind Naming

Same Name

text- → text-text-*

CSS prefix and Tailwind utility share the same name

Tailwind Standard

*-text → *-foreground

An alias aligned with Tailwind ecosystem standard patterns

Unlike the abbreviated naming convention used by shadcn/ui, this system enables designers and developers to communicate with the same token names through 1:1 Figma-to-code sync.
