Awesome how much work you've all put into this. Making a design system is a ton of work and this looks pretty good! I really, really love those primary buttons - the gradients are fantastic. I also love the table presentation; it gives so much more life to the tables. The breadcrumbs are very unique too.

A bit of feedback:

  • The components with a bunch of close-together raised items in a grid (like the buttons in the calendar of the date pickers, and the buttons in the pagination for example) place a noticeable amount of mental/visual strain on me. The rapidly perceived elevation changes with highlight/shadow seem like overuse of neumorphic elevation, which makes me focus on that rather than focusing on the content I'm supposed to be interacting with.
    • Perhaps toning down the elevation perception on those tightly-packed elements and adding a lightly colored border/a brighter bg-color would maintain the design system while improving the fluidity of the system by making the content more accessible.
  • The disabled state on the buttons would look really sick if their content box matched the cutout/pushed in look of the section text, so that they're noticeably pushed into the page.
  • I feel the hex code preview on the color picker would look even better pushed down into the component rather than elevated.
