Скачать или смотреть Figma Color System Review: Best Practices from Meta/Facebook Experience

In this detailed Figma color system review, I analyze a design system's color organization and share professional insights gained from helping Meta/Facebook transition from Sketch to Figma. Learn how to structure color tokens, transparencies, and design systems for scalability and team collaboration.
🔍 *What this review covers:*
Color token organization and naming conventions
Transparency (alpha) system structure
Grid-based layout for consistent artboards
Deprecation strategies for design systems
Light/dark mode organization in single artboards
Data visualization color token formatting
🎯 *Key insights from the video:*
How to visualize color relationships using numbered scales
The importance of showing all token information at a glance (no clicking needed)
Using grid backgrounds for consistent spacing (40px grid with 0.5 spacing)
Organizing light and dark modes in single artboards for better visual context
Effective deprecation communication strategies for teams
Maintaining naming consistency across color themes
🛠️ *Professional recommendations:*
1. *Transparency Systems:* Show alpha dark and alpha light with clear base value differences
2. *Deprecation Workflow:* Archive → Change style to be noticeable → Team notification → Update → Delete
3. *Naming Consistency:* Ensure color token names match theme names (e.g., "color theme dark red" not "color theme red")
4. *Information Density:* Present all necessary information without requiring clicks
5. *Decision Mapping:* Use the system as a product map to identify missing elements
💡 *Why this matters:*
Scalable systems handle growth without breaking
Clear communication reduces team friction
Consistent naming improves engineering workflow
Visual organization speeds up decision-making
