Thanks for the video! I have found an issue in Figma, which transparency is not working well when you have components of two or more objects. Make objects with different colours and transform them into components. Create one single component with all three components of different colours. Change the transparency of those object components to mix the colours. Now, if you try to change the colour of any of the main component, the colour changes are not affecting inside join components.
The only problem with the color scemes that every screen displays the content differenty. My main monitor on default settings darken the colors while my main screen is aesthetic
I still don't get it? when exactly do I need these transparent colors? on a button or shadow? because if it affects readability then it's not very practical.
You can use colors generated this way in shadows, backdrops behind dialogs, or any other UI element that ought to be translucent and work across multiple backgrounds. :) Assuming your neutral color palette has some tint to it, rather than using a black color with reduced opacity for the above-mentioned elements, simply try generating a translucent version of your neutral colors and use those instead. A color palette is merely a tool in a designer's hands, and it's up to us how we'll use it. This includes making sure readability is not sacrificed along the way.
i dont understand ... why we need to use transparency when we can use color directly? i you want light grey.. use ligh grey.... why you need to use black and then make opacity down?
sometimes we just need transparant colors, he already gave examples like overlays, hover, shadows etc. Unless you meant why use black with lower oppacity to achieve grey instead of just using grey and then add oppacity to that grey? that wouldnt work because the background would lighten or darken the grey further resulting in lighter or dark grey
checking my understanding... let's say I have a neutral, but not grayscale, ramp in which my swatches have some saturation (s > 0). my goal is to use alphredo to recreate my ramp with transparency (a < 1). now, I can use my neutrals for dividers, shadows, strokes, etc. on colorful backgrounds (s > 0, not grayscale), and my designs will feel more saturated overall. is that right?
Alphredo is exceptionally helpful. Thank you for your work.
Could you maybe make a video that explains this practical application in a real use-case situation?
Great Stuff!
Thank you. Your video is very helpful, and your explanation is concise.
I admire your channel
Pasting the full HSLA value into the figma hex field works! No plugin needed
This is unbelievable! Great work!
this is fresh 👑
Very interesting! Thank you man!

Hi Neil, yes, this sounds about right!
