Kigen is a Figma plugin that generates complete 11-shade color scales from a single base color, exporting directly to Tailwind CSS, Figma variables, or standard CSS.
It auto-generates semantic aliases (Success, Error, Warning) alongside the base scale and includes real-time contrast checking, plus reference palettes from established systems like Material, Fluent, and Polaris to compare against.
Figma-based design system teams who want a complete, semantically-named color scale generated inside Figma itself, not exported from a separate web tool.
Compare a generated scale against the built-in Material, Fluent, or Polaris references before finalizing. It's a fast sanity check on whether the shade steps feel proportional to established systems.
