Show full path headings in color selection

Suggest an idea

Hey there! I’d like to propose, if we could see the full paths when picking colors. Currently, only the last “group” is visible in the heading.

Example:

I have color variables organized like this

  • (Group) Brand
    • (Color) Primary
    • (Color) Secondary
    • (Group) Interaction
      • (Color) Primary
      • (Color) Secondary
      • (Group) Interaction
        • (Color) Primary
        • (Color) Secondary

This is how they are shown currently:

This is what I mean by full path:

The reasoning:

I tend to use a lot of variables in my design systems and I like to nest them to keep them organized. The issue here is that it’s really hard to tell what is nested under what, when there’s no indication of it and everything appears like it’s one level deep, even tho it doesn’t reflect how it is actually structured.

Note:

The “full path” solution I described here isn’t the only solution to this issue. The core issue I have is not being able to instantly recognize what’s nested under what and understand the hierarchy at a glance.

Thank you!
