How would you structure a multi-theme color system in Figma and CSS?
WHAT IT TESTS: Token architecture bridging Figma modes to code. ANSWER OUTLINE: Primitives and Semantic collections with theme modes; pipeline to CSS variables; components use semantic tokens only.
WHAT IT TESTS: Your ability to separate raw primitives from semantic intent in Figma and scale that into code without manual sync. ANSWER OUTLINE: First, create Primitives and Semantic collections in Figma with Light, Dark, and High-Contrast modes. Second, extract JSON via the Figma API or Tokens Studio, transform through Style Dictionary into CSS custom properties or theme objects for CSS-in-JS. Third, bind components to semantic tokens only so themes swap via variable overrides.
