Design Tokens

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the design system — specifically, they are named entities that store visual design attributes.

Tokens are named for their use case, rather than their value. For example $color-background-error is named to indicate the appropriate background color for an error, as opposed to $color-background-red which is less specific and could be used in a number of ways depending on cultural context and design language. This makes their intended use clear and intentional, and allows us to develop a scalable and consistent visual language.

In Paste, 1 rem unit = 16 pixels.

Use design tokens in your Sketch files through Abstract. Get the Console theme and SendGrid theme.
