Why it helps
Why generate semantic design tokens
Move beyond raw palettes into named roles for text, surfaces, borders, and actions.
Preview light and dark theme decisions before pushing tokens into code.
Export CSS variables, JSON, or Tailwind config for a practical implementation path.

Quick tips
Design token tips
Name tokens by role, not color, so themes can change without rewriting components.
Check text and surface contrast before committing a token set.
Export only after previewing real UI states like buttons, panels, and feedback colors.
FAQ
Design token generator questions
Can I generate design tokens from one color?
Yes. Start with one base color and generate scales plus semantic roles for product UI.
What makes these tokens semantic?
They are organized by UI role, such as text, surfaces, borders, actions, and feedback, instead of only raw shade names.
Can I export the design tokens?
Yes. The tool supports developer-oriented output such as CSS variables, JSON tokens, and Tailwind config.
Does it support dark mode tokens?
Yes. The workflow includes light and dark theme previews for semantic color decisions.
