Let’s say I have a color styles group like so:


Neutrals / gray-1

Neutrals / gray-2

Neutrals / gray-3

Neutrals / gray-4

…

And I have a similar group in another file, however the values for each of those gray-x are different.


I would like to basically overwrite on set of styles with another and have all components using the original set update automatically without having to edit a single swatch if that makes sense.


Pretty sure there is no way to do this with the core app (though that would be amazing) but does anyone know of a plugin or perhaps a work-around to achieve this?


To be able to batch it would be awesome, but even doing find-replace for one style at a time would be better than having to actually edit color values.

I’m pretty sure you can do that with Design System Organizer plugin.

I’d rather Style organizer because it’s free !

Hey there, would you mind elaborating on how this can be accomplished with the Design System Organizer plugin? I messed with it a bit, but wasn’t able to figure out how it could be done.


In my scenario, which I think matches what the OP was talking about, we’re replacing a bunch of color styles in the library for our product with color styles from a company-wide library. For example, I want to replace blue-local with blue-global from a different library. If I could just swap one style for another, it would spare me needing to go through the library and assign new styles object-by-object.


Thanks for any help you can provide!

I’m pretty sure neither DSO nor Style Organizer can help anymore than Selection colors. I would refrain from using Style Organizer as it has proved to mess with color values (at least in my experience).


I would simply go Page to Page and swap styles using Selection colors.

I’m also looking for this tool.


I’m trying out FRC plugin (Find Replace Colors). https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/806266638862897503/Find-and-Replace-Colors


@Antoine , I didn’t quite understand your suggestion “simply go Page to Page and swap styles using Selection colors.” Can you expand on “using Selection colors” a bit? Do you mean a fully manual process, no automatic finding at all?

Yes, fully manual but actually rather fast. In a page, select all, then swap your color styles from Selection colors, one by one.

If you have more than 100 pages it is long and hart.
