Smart color matching

When I select a hex color, for example #FFFFFF, Figma should automatically check whether the exact same color already exists in my local color variables or styles.

If a matching variable/style exists, Figma should suggest it first when I choose to apply a variable or style.

Example:

  • I select #FFFFFF
  • Figma detects that #FFFFFF already exists as a color variable in my design system
  • Instead of showing all available variables equally, Figma prioritizes or recommends the matching variable:
    White / #FFFFFF

This would make it much faster to connect manually entered colors to existing design-system variables, reduce duplicate colors, and help maintain consistency across a design system.
