CREATING A SEMANTIC COLOR PALETTE

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

This tutorial explains how to create semantic color variables that describe function rather than appearance, building on accessible color palettes. It demonstrates how to create neutral, primary, and state-based color groups with fill, border, and text variants for design flexibility. The system uses reusable modifier classes like .primary and .outline that can be combined across components, allowing the entire design system to change color by updating just the root variables.
