Hi community,

i have a question regarding “selection colors”. Is it possible to access and change the colors of figma.currentPage.selection[0] in order to change all occasions of “color x” to “color y” with one change?

So I don’t need to access every single child element and change its color there.

Thanks in advance 🙂

    yeah but… that doesn’t fit the case. term selection is ambiguous here. see the use-case described by OP. the method you linked gives you the colors of user’s ACTUAL current selection only. selection as in… user clicked on it and it now has a border around.

    i believe OP referred to Selection colors section on the right side-bar that tells one all the colors used within a group.

    so… these… which… yea, i get it. it only shows up for the user selected clicked component…

    would be nice to have a getter / setter for those for EACH component on a Figma page so that… if you rename your tokens you can iterate through all component’s selection colors and update them according to a migration spec.
