Overview
Hearing customer feedback, it was time for Vagaro's customer-facing marketplace to become ADA compliant and color accessible. Color hex values were hard-coded into every usage which meant we were unflexible in how we would be able to make a color change site-wide. Enter design tokens.
The Problem
I researched, pitched, and got approval for the implementation of design tokens to allow us to affect color changes much faster and open the door to color changes in the future (dark mode!).
