Question

I hope that we can adjust the transparency when using colors semantically inherited from variable color palettes


designer.hti

I’m thrilled that Figma has finally completed the last piece of the design variables puzzle. The addition of typography and gradients allows us to fully implement system-level variable design. However, I have a small issue. Although we can now use variables for gradient and shadow colors, within design tokens, if our color palettes haven’t defined transparency, we can’t modify the transparency when inheriting colors semantically. This forces us to create new color palettes specifically for transparency, which is a huge waste of time and meaningless work, especially since we often need to adjust transparency when using gradients and shadows. Therefore, I hope we can adjust transparency while inheriting colors from the color palettes.

Hey! Some people are “fighting” for this feature since a while in this thread: please vote on it 🙂 Add way to change opacity for color variables alias, fills, strokes, etc
