Summary

  • --rad-ui-color-accent-* tokens were only declared under a named data-rad-ui-accent-color or data-color. A <Theme> without accentColor left the whole accent scale undefined, so every accent-based border and fill vanished: Table frames and header borders, solid Button fills, focus rings.
  • The token generator now emits a gray accent block on :where([data-rad-ui-theme]) ahead of the named blocks. Same zero specificity, earlier in source, so an explicit accentColor or component color on the same element still wins.
  • Regression test reads base.tokens.css and checks the default block exists and precedes the named ones. Theme API table says the default is gray. Patch changeset.

Verification

Token, Theme and preset tests pass; check:theme-coverage unchanged. Found while tracing a user's Table that rendered with no borders.

The default gray styling works, but metadata-scoped custom CSS can be skipped for themes that omit accentColor. Align the metadata before merging.

🟡 Minor · Reset the stored accent when accentColor is unset. · Theme.tsx:71-75

src/components/ui/Theme/Theme.tsx:71-75
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reset the stored accent when accentColor is unset.

When a mounted Theme changes from a truthy accentColor to an empty or omitted value, the effect does not update themeAccentColor. The old data-rad-ui-accent-color remains on the element. The new gray default selector matches, but the later named selector for the stale value overrides it. Reset the state on every prop change.

Suggested fix
     useEffect(() => {
-        if (accentColor) {
-            setThemeAccentColor(accentColor);
-        }
+        setThemeAccentColor(accentColor);
     }, [accentColor]);

The --rad-ui-color-accent-* tokens were only defined under a named
data-rad-ui-accent-color or data-color, so a Theme without accentColor
left every accent-based border and fill undefined: Table frames and
header borders vanished, solid Buttons had no fill. The generated tokens
now declare a gray accent on :where([data-rad-ui-theme]) ahead of the
named blocks, which keep precedence by source order.

Use gray for unset Theme accent metadata.

Theme currently defaults accentColor to '', so the synchronization effect renders data-rad-ui-accent-color="" when the prop is omitted. The generated tokens still resolve to gray, but consumer CSS scoped to [data-rad-ui-accent-color="gray"] does not match. This conflicts with the documented gray default and active-palette metadata contract.

Suggested fix
-    accentColor = '',
+    accentColor = 'gray',
