That’s something I can’t wrap my head around yet. Instinctively, I want to push those into another collection called System, which is a refined set of the full primitive list
Primitive (brand modes
> system (refined, light/dark)
> semantic (single mode)

Whilst this isn’t traditionally deemed best practice, I can see a very strong case for it!
Recently I’ve been thinking that perhaps primitives are where we store the brand modes

Great callout. Do you keep primitives in a single mode?
Figma’s previous token setup had different saturation ramps for light and dark primitives!

Yeah same! Just trying to think about what 3.0 may look like 😃

Progressively, I guess so! But I think the light/dark AND brand switch at the semantic level is perhaps not the way

No they are very useful! If you can manage to get a hold of shared values across an organisation, you’re doing a fantastic job. The attention to detail of those implementing tokens implies the system is working

Just so impressive isn't it. Can't believe how much is packed into the tiny little devices

Is this in the context of a client, or internal company work?

How do you feel about sacrificing "the process" when someone wants high fidelity up front?

Do you find it easy to backtrack on the second one when you want to define a visual language?
