For non-gradient use cases, we can handle it with layer opacity. But for gradients, it’s impossible if you want different opacities of the same colour at different points.

+1, layer opacity is definitely not the anwser (think about the handover to developers). Additionally, oklch implementation would also help.

We need the ability to set opacity on only the fill or the stroke, not the whole layer

Sometimes, this is truly necessary, especially when working on templates where changing one color, like the brand color, automatically updates all variations.

+1 Just started using variables and while they’re great, it feels incomplete without this. Any solid color system needs to support defining variants relative to a base color.

+1 This is much needed


Sharon_Taylor

+1 this - definitely need this for the color system

+1 from me.  Not having separation of transparency and colour variables is going to cause me lots of extra work, and will result in a messy design system that’s hard to manage.
