# no-base-design-tokens

This rule checks that CSS declarations do not use [base color token variables](https://acorn.firefox.com/latest/desktop/design-tokens/how-design-tokens-work/overview-YYp6MVjt#section-base-a3)
directly. Instead, developers should reference higher-level, semantic tokens to
ensure color usage is consistent and maintainable.

## Examples of incorrect code for this rule

```css
a {
  color: var(--color-blue-60);
