Tokens are representations of design decisions. They abstract raw values into scalable, meaningful, and readable labels spanning across teams and platforms.
Design tokens explained (and how to build a design token system)
Design tokens are a critical element of every successful design system. Let's build a basic design token system focused on colors, starting from primitive tokens — simple data representations — and advancing to more sophisticated, highly functional semantic tokens.

Design tokens are an important concept in a design system. They are the sub-atomic units of a design system, representing the design's visual language in code. This allows designers & developers to work with a common language & easily make global changes to the design of a product.

Four Types of Colour Styles You Might Build / Encounter in Your Systems - luis. on Twitter
“Some more "styles in Figma" thoughts
Let's take a look at the four types of colour styles you might build / encounter in your systems 🎨
• Raw values e.g. #CC8700
• Base tokens e.g. Yellow/400
• Global tokens e.g. Warning/Primary
• Component tokens e.g. Alert/Warning/Text”
