Figma Figma Design Systems and Styles

Question 1

What are 'Styles' in Figma used for?

Accepted Answer

Saving reusable properties like colors, typography, effects, and grids for consistent use

Answer

Figma Styles let you save and reuse color, text, effect, and grid definitions across your design, ensuring consistency and easy global updates.

Question 2

How do you create a new color style in Figma?

Accepted Answer

In the Design panel, click the four-dot grid icon next to a fill and choose Create Style

Answer

Clicking the four-dot style icon next to a fill in the Design panel opens an option to save that fill as a named color style.

Question 3

What is a 'text style' in Figma?

Accepted Answer

A saved combination of font family, size, weight, line height, and letter spacing

Answer

A text style captures a full typographic definition — font, size, weight, line height, and spacing — so you can apply it consistently across your designs.

Question 4

In Figma, what are 'Variables' (as opposed to Styles)?

Accepted Answer

Stored values like colors or numbers that can be aliased and used in theming and prototyping logic

Answer

Variables in Figma store discrete values (colors, numbers, strings, booleans) that can be aliased for theming, mode switching, and conditional prototype logic.

Question 5

What does 'Local styles' mean in the Figma Assets panel?

Accepted Answer

Styles defined and stored within the current file only

Answer

Local styles are color, text, effect, or grid styles created and saved within the current file, not published to a team library.
