♛ Brilliant. Kyle Van Deusen’s two-layer approach to managing color on your project solves problems you might not even know you have yet.

The Color System I Wish I Understood Sooner

Does your system for naming colors always feel like it falls short? This two-layer approach solves so many problems!

@zeldman I'm considering this approach on my next big project - but with primitives in #SCSS - so I can use color/math magic - and the semantics in CSS `--variables`. I don't know if this is bananas yet.

@devolute @zeldman totally makes sense, IMHO. 👍 We‘re doing this a lot in our projects.
