The Material Design Guidelines are a
living documentation of visual, interactive, and motion design guidance across
platforms and devices.
Beyond
guidance, Material Design is a also system that supports and strengthens
communication and productivity with new tools and inspiration. With today's
update, Material is introducing a new way to learn about color. The new color tool helps you create, share, and
apply color palettes to a sample UI and through components in codepen. The tool
also supports accessibility by evaluating the legibility of text for any color
combination. Specific features include:
Create color schemes
Create color schemes that include darker and lighter variations of your primary
and secondary colors.
Preview the look of your color scheme across a range of Material Design Components, with
editable HTML, CSS, or JavaScript in Codepen.
With these new tools to dabble with color schemes, you'll be able to give you
users a richer experience, so we can't wait to see what you come up with. To get
