Hmm, we don’t support responsive colors. It’s not something people generally want to do, as far as I’m aware! ---

I would prefer not to use css and create colours that way or have to setup my own tailwind colour pallete, built in responsive would be better ---

You can make color responsive using the ‘Advanced → CSS classes’ (ie. `md:bg-rose-400 lg:bg-sky-200, etc.`), and leaving the background color set to none; There’s no way to do this with text color as it doesn’t have the option to set it to none. I can’t really see too many use cases for this other than purely creative ones - which of course, are totally valid. ---

I would prefer to have the responsive option in the controls if I enter “responsive”: true, no dot appears next to colour the responsive option is not available If I am creating a component want to make this as easy as possible for others to use, no requirement to enter tailwind classes I have a use for this in my component If it valid in tailwind not sure why the option is not available ---
