@carbon/colors

Colors for digital and software products using the Carbon Design System

Getting started

To install @carbon/colors in your project, you will need to run the following command using npm:

npm install -S @carbon/colors

If you prefer Yarn, use the following command instead:

yarn add @carbon/colors

Usage

You can use the @carbon/colors module in your JavaScript, in addition to your Sass.

Sass

In Sass, you can import the files individual by doing:

@use '@carbon/colors';

// Another way if using `@carbon/react
@use '@carbon/react/scss/colors';

These color variables follow the naming convention: <swatch>-<grade>. For example:

colors.$blue-50;
colors.$cool-gray-10;
colors.$black-100;
colors.$white-0;

Alongside the color variables detailed above, we also provide a map of colors so that you can programmatically use these values. This map is called $colors and each key is the name of a swatch. The value of these swatches is also a map, but each key is now the grade. In code, this looks like the following:

$colors: (
  'blue': (
    10: #edf4ff,
    // ...
  )
);

JavaScript

For JavaScript, you can import and use this module by doing the following in your code:

// ESM
import { black, blue, warmGray } from '@carbon/colors';

// CommonJS
const { black, blue, warmGray } = require('@carbon/colors');

Each color swatch is exported as a variable, and each color name is also exported as an object that can be called by specifying grade, for example:

black;
blue[50]; // Using the `blue` object.
warmGray100; // Using the `warmGray100` variable.
