Hi there,

Thanks for the post! To confirm what you’d like to achieve, would you like to do kind of this?

Hope to explore a possible solution together!

Thanks,

Hi Toku,

Yes that is excatly what I’m looking to do.

I do however also want it to color symbols with the exception of spaces if thats possible (.,^'^#_-! and so on).

Thanks! Though I asked you to clarify, I’m not sure how to achieve it yet. Probably, making an own plugin would be the solution since this is not achievable with the built-in feature, I think. I really hope somebody from community will find the solution!

I have never tryed to code nor make my own plugin. I tryed asking ChatGPT which came with a code for it. But how do I even make that?

Javascript:

// This is the entry point for the Figma plugin

Figma.showUI(html);

// When the plugin is run, this code will execute

Figma.ui.onmessage = (msg) => {

if (msg.type === ‘applyColors’) {

// Get the selected text node

const textNode = Figma.currentPage.selectiont0];

if (textNode && textNode.type === 'TEXT') {

  const characters = textNode.characters.split('');



  // Get user-defined color palette

  const colorPalette = msg.colors;



  // Apply colors to each character

  characters.forEach((char, index) => {

    if (char !== ' ') {

      const colorIndex = index % colorPalette.length;

      const color = colorPaletteecolorIndex];



      // Set character color

      textNode.setRangeFills(index, index + 1,  { type: 'SOLID', color }]);

    }

  });



  // Close the plugin

  figma.closePlugin();

} else {

  figma.closePlugin();

}

}

};

Html:

Color 1:

Color 2:

Color 3:

Color 4:

Color 5:

Apply Colors

Thanks for replies! Here is a plugin development guide - https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042786733-Create-a-plugin-for-development.

It might take time to learn coding, but I think it’s a great idea to use AI to make a plugin!

I hope these help.

Thanks,

Toku

Thanks alot, I’ll try looking into this 😁
