How we name design tokens (and why we changed it twice)

We started with colour names like blue-500. It broke the first time the brand changed.

Now we name by purpose: surface, text, accent. Happy to share our full token sheet if it helps anyone here.

    Purpose-based names saved us during our dark mode work. Would love the token sheet.
