Color styles not shown in all color pickers?

Edit: Figma support said they are actively working on a fix for this, yay!

Did we lose the ability to choose color styles within the color picker? I see it moved to a tab within the regular color picker, but if I want to choose a style for a drop shadow, its no longer there at all.

I’m doing a design with solid “drop shadows” and its really slowing me down having to sift through the document colors or find something to use the eye dropper on. Please tell me I am missing something

Figma engineering team fixed the gradient issue (Create gradients from color library) 🎉 Try refreshing Figma.

I have noticed this today also, I have 3 colour libraries on in one design file, and I can no longer select between them. I need to detach in order to reselect, even though all libraries are turned ON> Please fix!

I’ve put in a bug ticket, let’s see!

Same here. It’s super often we have multiple fills in one frame; very convenient. But now I can’t select a brand color as swatch and when I use the “Libraries” tab and select a color it replaces all fill layers with one library swatch.

Just realizing we also can’t build gradients from our library. It has to be a pre-made gradient or color pick from document library.

@Laura_Antonik do you have the bug ticket link? Would love to upvote.

I don’t, I filled in the form and the email I got has no number, link, nor does it repeat what I entered. EEk!

This is crazy - they broke a fundamental process. We need to see local colors and library colors in the picker so we can build gradients and not have to dump all our colors system into a design file and unlink.

Where are our library colors? I don’t want to use them as styles all the time. I just want them to show up instead of document colors.

Hey guys! Has somebody from Figma come with the decision??

Same problem here. I’ve noticed I can no longer make gradients using the library colours in the drop down below the picker. Truly slowing down the process… 🫤
