FOUNDATIONS

Color & themes

Every color in the product resolves through a custom property. A theme is a file that redefines them — 50 to 85 declarations, no component changes. That is the whole mechanism.

The token contract

Components never reference a hex value or a Tailwind palette color. They reference a role. This is what makes twelve themes cost one file each instead of twelve component trees.
