I am pretty sure you cannot add gradients, it is only a single value in variables.

Hi, but my app primary branding color is a gradient. So it’s used a lot with different variations.

Yes, then I believe you have to keep using Styles. I am not sure, why they have introduced a color variable and not just using a string variable that could be used to set the color in a style. So there is not two different ways of handling colors. But there is probably a good reason :slight_smile:

I would like to have this functionality ASAP - allowing color variables to be gradients.

Same here. We use gradients all the time in our designs. Not having them as part of the variable system isn’t good.
