Why use design tokens and how do they help you as Marketplace Partners specifically? In addition to enabling features like dark theme and improved accessibility, design tokens make it easy for you to design and build apps that match the parent Atlassian product, such as Jira — and do it once.
Colors in your app will mirror and react to the active theme of the parent product to appear closely integrated and provide a consistent, familiar experience for customers. But not only that, as we continually improve the Atlassian Design System and iterate on colors, you’ll easily benefit from them too.
