SGDS Text Color Utilities Skill
SGDS text color utilities use the sgds:text-{token} pattern. All colors are theme-aware (automatically switching between day/night) unless a fixed variant is used.
Prerequisites
Required: Complete setup from sgds-utilities-setup skill first.
Theme files required: Text color utilities require both utility CSS and theme files (day.css and night.css) for theme-aware colors.
Core Concept
All SGDS text utilities follow the sgds:text-{variant}-{modifier} pattern with the sgds: prefix.
For definitions of suffix modifiers (default, emphasis, muted, fixed-light, fixed-dark, inverse, surface), see utilities-color-semantics.
