Semantic Tokens - Hive Design System

Overview

Figma

In the Hive Design System, the creation and management of Design Tokens have been revolutionized by the adoption of Figma's innovative feature, Variables. This powerful tool allows us to define and apply design tokens across our system with unprecedented precision and flexibility, ensuring that our designs are both efficient and adaptable

Content

$content-primary

Specifically designed for text and icons, Content Tokens ensure that textual content and symbolic icons are legible and harmonious with the overall design. These tokens are vital for maintaining readability and visual consistency.

Used across paragraphs, labels, button text, and the color of icons within components like inputs and dropdowns. Content colors adapt to different backgrounds to maintain contrast and accessibility standards.

Border

$border-primary

Border Color Tokens are essential for defining the perimeters of UI elements and inputs. They play a crucial role in visual hierarchy, state indication, and interactive feedback within the design.

Applied to UI borders and input outlines. These tokens help in distinguishing elements from their background and highlighting interactive or functional changes.

Background

$background-primary

Designed to define the backdrop for all surface areas within the UI, including components and overall UI background. Background Color Tokens contribute to the depth, layering, and segmentation of content, enhancing the user’s ability to navigate and interact with elements.

Utilized for UI backgrounds, component backgrounds, and state-specific backgrounds. These tokens are crucial for creating a coherent visual experience that guides user interaction and enhances usability.

Alert & Accent

These colors are meticulously integrated into all semantic layers of the Hive Design System—content, borders, and backgrounds. This integration ensures consistency in communication and visual appeal across all user interface components, enhancing the usability and accessibility of digital products designed with Hive.

Alert colors in the Hive Design System are designed to capture attention and communicate essential information to users effectively. These colors represent different states or messages that require user awareness, including information, warning, error, and success.
Accent colors bring vitality and emphasis to the Hive Design System. These colors are selected to complement the primary and secondary palettes, adding visual interest and guiding users' focus to key elements and interactions within the interface.
