The color portion of the asset manager will improve how we use color in our apps.
You can define a series of colors as swatches in your safe area of the app (outside of the white playground, the grey area). Draw boxes and set their colors as you see fit for your app. Add each color to the asset manager and name how you want to use them.
For example, you could name the color blue as buttons, grey as text, and white as background.
As your app is developing, you can test changing your buttons to another color from one place. Change the blue to something else in the asset manager, and all your buttons will change automatically. You can do this with all your elements. With a bit of discipline early on, developers will instantly benefit from testing color changes.
