🎨 Colour variables... but not the boring kind

You know that part of design systems, where you map colours like brand-600 to surface-brand-default and your brain starts buffering?

Yeah, that one.

So I made a video about it.
But instead of another dry walkthrough, I tried something different:

• Cartoony visuals

• 80s music vibes

• A retro, sketchy aesthetic

• No talking heads

It’s the same insights as my article on semantic colour tokens, just stylized, musical, and way more fun to absorb.

If you geek out on design systems or just want to learn how to build semantic colour systems, this one’s for you.

Would love to hear what you think!.
