Color
Color creates meaning and communicates hierarchy, state, and brand.
Color scheme
Link to “Color scheme”A color scheme is the group of key color tones assigned to specific roles that get mapped to components.
star use the Material theme builder Figma plugin to generate a color scheme.
Alternatively, use the
material-color-utilities
library to generate color schemes at runtime.
Tokens

.
All tokens have a corresponding --md-sys-color-on-<token>
for content color with accessible contrast.
