Short answer

How do I turn design tokens into CSS values?

Give your AI any color format like CMYK or HEX. It uses the conversion tool to output precise HSL or RGB values you can drop straight into your stylesheets. You'll get clean, ready-to-use code for your theme variables.

The results of a conversion

Where your color data lands

This is what happens when you pass color data to your agent.

CSS OUTPUT

Ready-to-use code

The AI generates HSL or RGB strings. You can copy these directly into your CSS files or theme configurations.

TOKEN MAPPING

Clean color variables

Your agent maps original design tokens to new formats. This keeps your brand colors consistent across different color spaces.

FORMAT SWITCHING

Cross-format translation

The tool handles the math between CMYK, HEX, and RGB. You get the exact numerical values needed for web rendering.

HUMAN REVIEW

Final visual check

The AI provides the math, but you decide if the converted color looks right on screen. You maintain control over the final aesthetic.

The workflow

What your AI does when the color data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of color space mathematics.

  1. Parse input

    Your agent reads the raw color data you provide, whether it's a list of HEX codes or CMYK values from a brand guide.

  2. Calculate values

    The AI runs the math to translate the input into the specific color space you need for your CSS.

  3. Format for CSS

    The agent structures the resulting numbers into valid HSL or RGB syntax.
