Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

Call	CSS
`u.accent()`	`css({ accentColor: "var(--ui-brand-bg-solid)" })`
`u.accent("danger")`	`css({ accentColor: "var(--ui-danger-bg-solid)" })`

Examples

Basic example

Use accent() to color the parts a browser paints in a native checkbox, radio, range or progress bar:

<div mix={[...]}>
	<input type="checkbox" checked mix={[accent()]} aria-label="Checkbox" />
	<input type="radio" checked mix={[accent()]} aria-label="Radio" />
	<input type="range" mix={[accent()]} aria-label="Range" />
	<progress value={60} max={100} mix={[accent()]} />
</div>

Tones

Pass a tone, like success or danger, to paint a control in that tone's solid color:

<div mix={[...]}>
	<input type="checkbox" checked mix={[accent("success")]} aria-label="Success" />
	<input type="checkbox" checked mix={[accent("warning")]} aria-label="Warning" />
	<input type="checkbox" checked mix={[accent("danger")]} aria-label="Danger" />
	<input type="range" mix={[accent("danger")]} aria-label="Danger range" />
</div>

Palette shades and arbitrary colors

Pass a palette shade like color.brand.300, or any CSS color function, for a color no tone names:

<div mix={[...]}>
	<input type="range" mix={[accent("color.brand.300")]} aria-label="Light brand" />
	<input type="range" mix={[accent("oklch(0.7 0.18 150)")]} aria-label="Green" />
</div>

Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

u.hover(u.accent())

Responsive design

Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

u.at("md", u.accent())

Customizing your theme

Customizing colors

Define a palette as --ui-color-{name}-{50..950} and map a tone onto it with the --ui-{tone}-* variables, the way theme.css maps the built-in ones:

:root {
	--ui-color-info-50: oklch(0.97 0.02 230);
	--ui-color-info-200: oklch(0.88 0.06 230);
	--ui-color-info-500: oklch(0.62 0.16 230);
	--ui-color-info-600: oklch(0.52 0.18 230);
	--ui-color-info-900: oklch(0.3 0.1 230);

	--ui-info-bg-tint: var(--ui-color-info-50);
	--ui-info-bg-solid: var(--ui-color-info-600);
	--ui-info-fg: var(--ui-color-info-600);
	--ui-info-fg-muted: var(--ui-color-info-500);
	--ui-info-fg-emphasis: var(--ui-color-info-900);
	--ui-info-fg-on-solid: white;
	--ui-info-border: var(--ui-color-info-200);
	--ui-info-border-strong: var(--ui-color-info-600);
	--ui-info-ring: var(--ui-color-info-500);
}

declare module "@sdxc/u" {
	interface ColorPalettes {
		info: true;
	}
	interface SemanticTones {
		info: true;
	}
}

The new name is then accepted wherever the scale is:

accent("info")
