I thinks it’s a silly question, but I want to define a set of colors based on theme like I did with

colors.xml

and

colors-night.xml

(besides the primaryColor, secondaryColor and so on) without using the xml resources.

<!-- colors.xml -->
<color name="customers_button_background">#123456</color>
<color name="customers_button_content">#FFFFFF</color>

<!-- colors-night.xml -->
<color name="customers_button_background">#7890AB</color>
<color name="customers_button_content">#000000</color>

How can I achieve this in Compose? Thanks!

You can use

isSystemInDarkTheme()

, and return different constants defined anywhere in the code

So every time I have to use a custom color I have to check if the system is in dark mode?

No, you can provide a different color palette with ambient depending on the state of dark mode. see https://github.com/android/compose-samples/blob/master/Jetsnack/app/src/main/java/com/example/jetsnack/ui/theme/Theme.kt#L82

that’s nice, thanks! 😄

Note that you should (generally) not directly reference colors in the code, but instead get them from the theme (or your own ambient if you have your own design system implementation). This way you can dynamically update values
