So in radian os there are 18 colors, it is a global design system, but if we had to make a variant for each color, 

lets say, for Front icon, flag, dot indicator, avatar, trail icon, cross, and so and so..

there would be, 18colors * 3 sizes * 4 variants * 6 different badges = 1296 badges

I’ve seen in the figma keynote, that pulling just one instance will also pull all other in the component set, so should i make 1296 badges?

or do the way i just did here, 3 bases, with each colored icons, avatars and more (the icon library & avatar library are all ready)

does it also pull, the main components * base component ?


(and i know the picture doesn’t show country flag, but it will be there in future)

Would also love to know what the recommended approach for these cases is… I don’t think slots is the way to go, though. Generally I’ve found using slots to be extremely dangerous, since touching anything inside the instance’s slot will cause the entire update chain to break and freeze, defeatign the entire point of a component.
