Hi everyone! :) I built this, and here's why: We all know that both Apple and Google are pushing Dark Modes in their newest OS's. Users will expect our product to support Dark Mode. This is an issue for several reasons: 1) Existing products are most likely not prepared for this, so it will be a lot of work to include the Dark Mode. 2) Working consistently with colors in todays design tools is not easy. Figma is almost there, but Sketch certainly is not. (I know nothing about XD, sorry) 3) Designing a product with different color modes often require designers to create duplicate styles or components. The funny thing is. The logic for switching colors are actually quite simple for developers. So I thought – why not build a plugin? It can't be that hard. Turns out it's way more tricky than I expected. But not impossible. So here we are. The Color System plugin for Sketch, is the plugin to quickly create a secondary color scheme for your product, and switch between the color modes almost instantly, as much as you want, while you are designing. I hope it will help designers save time, and to be more consistent with their colors. I certainly learned a lot building it, and have so many ideas for new features and enhancements! Enjoy!

@sclausen_dk Hey Søren, thanks for this awesome plugin. Unfortunately it doesn't work with massive color lists. In my case I have 5 colors with 10 tones in my palette an there isn't a scroll function so I can only see 37 colors in my case. A scroll view would be fantastic.

@psch996 Thank you :) I will look into this asap!

Would there be any opportunity to also consider changing/updating font styles as in dark mode you may want font style to be bold and regular in light mode? This would be awesome if this is possible.

@steve_avery2 Hi Steve, I also replied on Twitter, but for everyone else here's my reply: It's definitely on the roadmap to update styles, and maybe even add styles for every color so they can be used in overrides :) It will probably be included in the next big update.

I was bought the plugin and I wonder how to work with it, where I can find documentation for this plugin

@ahmed_almadhoun Hi Ahmed, I'm working on an update for the plugin, and a guide to use it. Make sure to follow me on Twitter to see when this happens :)
