+
+### Palettes
+
+All colors are defined in palettes. Each palette has a name and a scale. The scale is a number that represents the intensity of the color. For example, `--seq-red-100` is a light shade of the red color, while `--seq-red-900` is a dark shade of the brand color.

+
+### Gradients
+
+### Semantic Colors
+
+Semantic colors point to color palettes and are used to give a name to a color that is used in a specific context. For example, `primary` is a semantic color that points to a color in the `brand` palette. This way, if the brand color changes, the `primary` color will change as well.
