Color Tokens - Primer

Primer Checkout Android SDK is currently in beta (v3.0.0-beta). The API is subject to change before the stable release.

Two classes define all color tokens:

LightColorTokens — open class with 2 base tokens and 29 semantic tokens for light mode
DarkColorTokens — extends LightColorTokens and overrides the internal palette for dark mode. Semantic tokens resolve automatically through inheritance.

The raw palette behind the semantic tokens (primerColorGray*, primerColorRed*, primerColorBlue*, primerColorGreen*) is internal. To change a color, override the semantic token that uses it.

Base tokens (2)

Token	Light	Dark	Purpose
`primerColorBrand`	`#2F98FF`	`#2F98FF`	Primary brand color
`primerColorBorderTransparentDefault`	transparent	transparent	Transparent border base

Semantic tokens (29)

Resolve through base tokens and the internal palette. Override the ones you want to change.

`primerColorLoader`	`primerColorBrand`	Loading indicator
`primerColorOnBrand`	`primerColorBackgroundPrimary`	Content on the brand color, such as the pay button label

Customization

Override tokens by extending LightColorTokens or DarkColorTokens:

val theme = PrimerTheme(
    lightColorTokens = object : LightColorTokens() {
        override val primerColorBrand: Color = Color(0xFF6C5CE7)
        override val primerColorBackgroundPrimary: Color = Color(0xFFF8F8F8)
    },
    darkColorTokens = object : DarkColorTokens() {
        override val primerColorBrand: Color = Color(0xFFA29BFE)
    },
)

Changing a base token affects all semantic tokens that reference it. Use PrimerTheme.appearanceMode to choose whether the light or dark set is used.
