Mastering Colour Tokens in Figma: From Beginner to Advanced

Hi everyone, Matthew Sear here. In this video, "Mastering Figma: From Beginner to Advanced Colour Variables," I'll walk you through setting up and managing colour variables in your Figma design projects. We'll start with the basics and gradually move into more complex scenarios, including creating a colour system that supports multiple products and brands. This tutorial is designed to make style adjustments a breeze, whether you're working on a single product or managing a comprehensive design system across several brands.
I'll provide you with a practical guide and resources, such as a ready-to-use design system kit and the Pixelink Variable Toolkit plugin. This toolkit, part of the broader Pixelink design system, is crafted to simplify your design process, allowing you to easily apply variable colours and ensure your projects are accessible and visually consistent across different elements and states.
The focus will be on building a scalable and flexible colour system, from defining primitive colours to setting up brand and product-specific palettes. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a dynamic set of colour variables ready for both light and dark modes, streamlining your workflow and making colour management straightforward.
Whether you're new to Figma or looking to enhance your expertise, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to work with colour variables efficiently, making your design process more efficient and your outcomes more cohesive. Let's dive in and transform how you handle colours in your design projects.
