+# Color System Migration Guide
+
+This guide will help you migrate your components to use our new standardized color system.
+
+## Why Migrate?
+
+- **Consistency**: Ensure all UI elements have consistent colors
+- **Maintainability**: Easier to update the design system
+- **Accessibility**: Better contrast and readability
+- **Dark Mode**: Simplified light/dark mode support
+
+## Migration Steps
+
+### 1. Identify Current Color Usage
+
+First, identify all hardcoded colors or direct Mantine color variables in your component:
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.element {
+  color: #333;
+  background-color: var(--mantine-color-blue-6); 
+  border: 1px solid var(--mantine-color-gray-3);
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Replace with Theme Color Tokens
+
+Replace hardcoded colors and direct Mantine variables with our standardized tokens:
+
+```css
+/* After */
+.element {
+  color: var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-7);
+  background-color: var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-6);
+  border: 1px solid var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-3);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Use Semantic Color Tokens Where Available
+
+For common UI elements, use semantic tokens:
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.header {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-color-body);
+  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--mantine-color-gray-3);
+}
+
+/* After */
+.header {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-other-headerBgColor);
+  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--mantine-other-headerBorderColor);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Use Light/Dark Mode Consistently
+
+For elements that need different colors in light/dark mode:
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.text {
+  color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-gray-7), var(--mantine-color-dark-0));
+}
+
+/* After */
+.text {
+  color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-7), var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-0));
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Update Inline Styles in Components
+
+For inline styles in components:
+
+```tsx
+// Before
+<Box style={{ color: theme.colors.blue[6] }} />
+
+// After
+<Box style={{ color: 'var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-6)' }} />
+
+// Or better, use Mantine props
+<Box c="brand-primary.6" />
+```
+
+## Mapping Old Colors to New Colors
+
+Use this reference to map old color values to our new color system:
+
+| Old Color | New Color |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-0)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-0)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-1)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-1)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-4)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-4)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-6)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-6)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-7)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-primary-7)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-blue-filled)` | `var(--mantine-other-navigationActiveColor)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-gray-0)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-0)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-gray-3)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-3)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-gray-4)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-4)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-gray-5)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-5)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-gray-7)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-7)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-dark-0)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-0)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-dark-4)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-4)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-dark-6)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-6)` |
+| `var(--mantine-color-dark-8)` | `var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-8)` |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Header Component Example
+
+```css
+/* Before */
+.header {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-color-body);
+  border-bottom: 1px solid light-dark(var(--mantine-color-gray-3), var(--mantine-color-dark-4));
+}
+
+.link {
+  color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-gray-7), var(--mantine-color-dark-0));
+}
+
+.link:hover {
+  background-color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-gray-0), var(--mantine-color-dark-6));
+}
+
+.active {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-color-blue-filled);
+  color: var(--mantine-color-white);
+}
+
+/* After */
+.header {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-other-headerBgColor);
+  border-bottom: 1px solid var(--mantine-other-headerBorderColor);
+}
+
+.link {
+  color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-7), var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-0));
+}
+
+.link:hover {
+  background-color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-1), var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-8));
+}
+
+.active {
+  background-color: var(--mantine-other-navigationActiveColor);
+  color: var(--mantine-color-white);
+}
+```
+
+### Button Component Example
+
+```tsx
+// Before
+<Button 
+  style={{ 
+    backgroundColor: theme.colors.blue[6],
+    color: 'white'
+  }}
+>
+  Click me
+</Button>
+
+// After
+<Button color="brand-primary">Click me</Button>
+```
+
+## Testing Your Migration
+
+After migrating, run stylelint to ensure you're not using hardcoded colors:
+
+```bash
+yarn stylelint
+```
+

+
+Refer to the `color-tokens.md` file or the `ColorPalette` component in Storybook for a complete reference of our color system.

+  border: 1px solid var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-3);
+}
+```
+
+### For light/dark mode support
+
+```css
+.my-element {
+  color: light-dark(var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-7), var(--mantine-color-brand-gray-0));

+
+## Usage in Components (with Mantine)

+import { Button } from '@mantine/core';
+
+// Using theme colors
+<Button color="brand-primary">Primary Button</Button>

+<Button color="brand-accent">Accent Button</Button>
+
+// Using specific shade
+<Button color="brand-primary.6">Custom Shade Button</Button>
