Token FAQs
What is a "token"?
Design tokens are the building blocks of our visual language; they are our brand guidelines translated into geek speak. Tokens define properties (like colors and fonts to use in specific scenarios) that, when used, help to ensure cohesive, brand-compliant, and consistent user experiences across platforms.
Do I have to use the tokens?
No. You do have an obligation to adhere to the State of Colorado brand and meet any applicable technical requirements (including accessibility conformance). The tools here will help you do that more quickly and easily. For design guidance, reach out to DPA_IDSCustomerService@state.co.us.
