The Complete Guide to Design Token Management in Figma
From color extraction to dev handoff — how modern design teams bridge the design-code gap.
Why Design Tokens Matter
Design tokens are the atoms of your design system. They're named values — colors, spacing, typography — that ensure consistency across every touchpoint. But managing them in Figma has always been painful. You either maintain them manually (error-prone) or rely on complex plugins that require technical setup.
The Code-to-Design Problem
Most design systems start in code. Developers define CSS variables, Tailwind configs, or native app colors. Then designers are expected to recreate these in Figma — manually copying hex values, naming them consistently, and keeping everything in sync. It's tedious, slow, and inevitably leads to drift.
Color Extractly solves this by reversing the workflow. Paste your existing code, and watch Figma variables appear. The design system is instantly synced with what developers are already using.
From Extraction to Export
The real power comes from the round-trip capability. Extract colors from code → refine them in Figma → export back to any format. CSS, JSON, Tailwind, Android, iOS — your design decisions flow seamlessly to every platform without translation errors.
Custom naming templates ensure exports match your team's conventions. Whether you use color-primary-500 or ColorPrimary500, the output adapts to your codebase, not the other way around.
Smart Matching & Deduplication
Legacy files are messy. Years of quick fixes and one-off colors leave behind hundreds of near-duplicates. Color Extractly's smart matching identifies colors within configurable thresholds (e.g., "find all colors within 5% lightness difference") and consolidates them into a clean palette.
The result? A single source of truth that's actually maintainable.
Dark Mode in One Click
Dark mode isn't just "invert the colors." Good dark themes preserve color relationships while adjusting luminance for comfortable viewing. Color Extractly's auto-generation analyzes your light palette and creates semantically appropriate dark alternatives — a solid starting point that typically needs only minor refinement.
Better Together: The RAIKEN Ecosystem
Color Extractly pairs perfectly with Contently for content management and Notely for feedback. Together, they form a complete workflow: extract your system, fill it with real content, and annotate for handoff — all without leaving Figma.
