Can't create nor apply a custom color swatch

[LucilaCer]

Hi! I´ve been trying to crate my brands color theme, but I still can't get It worked out.
On the other hand, I can't find the answer to hoy to apply the color scheme to the set of components I use.
Please help! Thanks in advance, Lucila

Hi!
Could you provide steps or screenshots on your components and process?
It will depend on if you are using the M3 UI kit as a library or a local copy.

If using as a library (from the UI kits in the asset panel) you'll need to take a manual approach and set the component colors within the Selection colors. Be careful going this route: updates from the library can override local changes.

If you duplicated the kit, the Material Theme Builder will find the kit's theme "M3" and you can update the colors from within the plugin.

Hello, I am fairly new to Figma, but is there a downside to the method of duplicating the kit? I assume that using that method, I would not get any updates that may happen to the kit. Is there a futute state where the plug-in will be able to update the library?
