Anyone else feel like using a palette is harder than finding one?

I’ve been playing around with different color palettes for a UI project, and I realized the frustrating part isn’t actually finding good palettes there are plenty of those.

The real friction starts when trying to use them properly in the workflow. Moving colors into Figma, setting them up in code (especially Tailwind), keeping everything consistent it ends up being more manual than I expected.

I started experimenting with ways to make this step smoother for myself, especially when quickly prototyping or “vibe coding” ideas without spending too much time on setup.

Curious how others handle this part do you have a system for going from palette → implementation, or do you just rebuild it each time?
