I asked 5 of my go-to design system people for advice on how to start using Figma variables

@danmall, @nathanacurtis, @mariachrstphr, @Lewishealey, @disco_lu

..and, wow! There are SO many golden nuggets in these answers..

Q1: What advice do you have for designers tokenizing their colors for the first time with color variables?

Q2: What is the biggest mistake to avoid when setting up and naming color tokens?

Q3: What color tokens do you admire or even reference when setting up your own system(s)?

Thanks for your help!!
