How Do I Use Contrast Plugin in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:01 pm

If you’re a web developer, you’re likely very familiar with using contrast to make sure your text is legible. The same is true when it comes to designing in Figma.

While there are a few different ways to add contrast to your text, the easiest way is to use the Contrast Plugin.

Once you’ve installed the Contrast Plugin, simply select the text layer you want to adjust and click on the “Contrast” button in the left toolbar. You’ll then see a slider that you can use to increase or decrease the contrast of your text. You can also choose to invert the colors of your text, which can be helpful if you’re working with a dark background.

PRO TIP: This article is about using the Contrast plugin in Figma, and not about the design principle of Contrast. If you are looking for information on how to create high contrast designs in Figma, this is not the article for you.

If you want more control over your text contrast, you can also use the “Advanced” options. Here you can choose to change the lightness, saturation, or hue of your text. You can also add a background color to your text, which can be helpful for making sure your text is legible on different color backgrounds.

Making sure your text is legible is important for both web and design projects. The Contrast Plugin makes it easy to adjust the contrast of your text in Figma, so you can focus on making your project look great.
