I find managing template colors really difficult in Slides. I can’t easily organize, re-order, or rename them. I’ve found some ways to hack it but it feels really convoluted trying to provide color options in the templates I’m making.
I think Slides is doing a really great job on most fronts and I love the product, but I find myself just using colors from other libraries because managing them within Slides is so confusing.
Hey @Brian_Saunders, thanks for taking your time to share your feedback with us!
I’m going to pass this along to the teams for consideration.
I want to add on to this as someone new to Slides. I am struggling to figure out how to modify color variables in slides. It’s perfectly easy in regular Figma with the Styles panel…
I’m trying to rearrange colors in Figma Slides too.
One thing that I found useful whilst this is still in beta mode using a naming structure to help organise it a little more so for example, and obv. workaround the limitations of Figma Slides Colour management right now.
For backgrounds I might name the colour Backgrounds/Black, Backgrounds/Red… and so on. You can then do the same with text or brand colours so Text/White, or Brand/Blue.
This is then presented in a more organised way when selecting colours.
