Yes, it would be great Adobe, as we don't need to assign color for character styles at all. Color assets are here for this.

+1 for this feature. Since Adobe XD is a tool for creating not only prototypes but also design systems, you want a way to standardize assets for multiple contexts. This includes being able to adapt a character style to various statuses (e.g. "danger", "warning", "success"). Color-agnostic character styles would be the solution for this. Please do consider this, Adobe.

Yes! This is so annoying. I almost messed up my mockups because of this issue.

+1 I would need 86 Character styles for 9 different font sizes. Microsoft word has this figured out?

Yep. Plus one 🙋🏼‍♂️

It is irritating how the text loses the style just by a colour overwrite. This is a huge blocker for handoff and consistency.

Desperate for this feature to make handoff easier

Please update this, it's very confusing.

One solution I did for this limitation is to make the text a component, then apply the color change on its instance. This way when I need to change the character style I'll just go to the main component and change the style there. I hope this helps.

It's now Aug 2021, and still no update. This is the stuff that's infuriating about Adobe. Every year they announce a bunch of new features to please investors, and neglect the basic ease of use features/minor conveniences. If Figma releases a native app (not a web container like the current), or Sketch gets robust prototyping...I swe...Anyway please for the love of [preferred deity], would you add this feature ASAP.

This is one of those minimums for improving the use of both styles and text in XD.

I know I've made this comment and feature request before but we really need character styles separated from paragraph styles and much better text tools in XD. The general lack of support for basic features like vertical text alignment, bullets and numbering, etc. is frequently a pain point, not to mention some of the more 'robust' features available in InDesign that would be hugely beneficial here (indents, paragraph spacing, drop caps... the list is extensive).

Yes please, this problem has been here since the beginning. I switch to others competitors just because of this.

Update on this ridiculous limitation pls?

It's clear now why multiplayer editing was prioritised: because it takes a whole team of designers to maintain character styles.

Can someone from Adobe please provide an update on this? It would be good to understand if this request has been reviewed or not this seems like a pretty simple feature that XD should have.

The fact that this hasn't been implemented yet is so ridiculous when other competitors have this out of the box. My team is now considering pivoting to one of those options as this is just unmanageable in it's current form. Making Character Styles for every color variation is so backwards.

Please add this. no one wants to have triplicates of characters styles because they're all different colors.

this is super super annoying, please fix

It would be good to understand if this request has been reviewed or not. This is one of the items that makes our team strongly consider competitors.

I think the most important thing here is to remove the color from the character style and allow the color applied to be chosen from the color palette, as those are already named. From our experience the colors applied are typically chosen from the existing color palette of our guidelines and not unique to the character style, so merging the 2 makes it very hard to manage.

Please for the love of god make this simple change.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Please!
