Thanks for your feedback! We’ll pass it along to our team for consideration. Do not also forget to vote up your idea (next to the topic’s title).
(At this time it’s not possible to set a colour as part of a text style, and you’ll need to apply a colour style separately to any text styles you apply. For now, as a workaround, where applying these two styles separately is difficult or time consuming, you might want to componentize specific text elements with both styles applied for ease of access and documentation.)
Thank you. Funny that I can/have to vote up my own idea 😃
I’d also really like this feature. For example, if I’m working on a website and links are going to always be the same shade of blue, why do I have to set that color every time I apply the “link” style?
It can also be really frustrating to try to catch in situations where a brand-approved text color is very close to, but not exactly, black.
I find it alarming that Figma is so incredibly powerful and yet there’s no way to do this without a workaround. Seems like every UI designer out there should be screaming for this.
Alarming indeed. They seem to have shifted focus away from designers quite some time ago. First towards developers, which still makes some sense, and now towards suits with FigJam, Slides and questionable “AI” functions. It’s sad, but not unusual. Expansion is more important than support of the existing user base.
