Currently the Figma toolkit uses a raw set of color values via shared styles. This makes it difficult for consumers of the toolkit to use colors given that there's no semantic meaning associated with them.

For example, a designer building a VS Code extension would have no way of knowing which color was used for input backgrounds unless they manually cross-referenced the hex value with the colors in colorRegistry.ts

Ideally we could use variables to expose a list of semantic tokens that match the list used in VS Code itself. These variables would referenced the raw "Base " or "Accent " colors as they exist today, updated to use the latest themes.
