Is there a way of loading global colours into the colour picker? Ideally where design tokens can be passed into a project space to set global tokens for the project space?

Hi Karl!

Regarding a color picker with swatches / global options, this is a great feature request and a huge design time-saver!

For design tokens, we are currently beta testing some related technologies that will allow us to make that possible. In the meantime, Korey’s post [How do I use my site's css and classes on elements in Builder pages?](https://forum.builder.io/t/how-do-i-use-my-sites-css-and-classes-on-elements-in-builder-pages/1084) and some clever use of templates and symbols are currently the best way to create/maintain styles throughout your project.
