I’m using Material Theme Builder to create a color palette. I’ve checked that it creates the same output as the Material Theme Builder Figma plugin.


In this example, shouldn’t be the picked secondary color equal as the secondary color generated in the palette.

For example, I use the following colors in the Material Theme Builder plugin:


Primary: 00687C

Secondary: 4B6269

Tertiary: 585C7E


Error: BA1A1A

Neutral: F8F9FB

Neutral variant: 8C9294

After creating the theme I get the following palette:

Which is totally not the palette that should be generated. Take for example a look at the secondary color for the light theme, which should be S-40, but instead it is #00687A, which differs a lot from S-40 which is #4B6269.


Is the Material Theme Builder broken or am I missing something?

Hey, just to let you know… yes, the Material theme builder looks broken. That’s because it seems it should work the way you want, but it works differently.

It will generate palettes out of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary… that is why you cannot set specific colors. It works as it should for automatic coloring that Android provides but it makes it impossible to use builder for specific themes. You have to do it by hand which is annoying as hell. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand how it works and I still don’t know how to get specific output. I
