Would love the option to set the color of the page to a variable. In an effort to create more uniformity and consistency across files, I created a variable collection for documentation colors, however I’m unable to define the page color using variables. This would be especially useful for documents with 10+ pages, as it’d be an easy way to keep the page background colors all aligned.

Not exactly the solution you’re looking for but this plugin will let you apply the current page background to every other page. Background Apply All

I don’t know why this isn’t a more popular suggestion. I’m sure there must be good reason for not having done it yet on Figma’s part, but it seems like such a nice bit of low-hanging fruit. UI3 would have been a really good opportunity to do this.

I’d like to see this for when I’m switching designs between light and dark mode. It’s so jarring when switching the contents of a page to dark mode and the page colour remains light.

Figma… please!

I also don’t understand why this isn’t more popular!
It really break the orthogonality principle of Figma, where all inputs now should accept variables, but still this one does not.
Would be awesome if somehow I could also pair this with the light/dark mode of the UI itself!

Personally, my use case is that most of what my company designs tend to be in dark mode, but when I want to work outdoors it’s hard to see so I want to switch everything to light mode (Figma UI, background and the designs themselves of course).

Thanks!
