Control your entire color palette from a single value using Rive's data binding and custom converters.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to bind color data values to objects in your scene, then use a custom converter script to automatically generate darkened and lightened variants — so changing one base color updates everything at once.
What's covered:
- Setting up a view model with color data values
- Binding colors to objects on stage
- Writing a custom lightness converter script using Rive's AI agent
- Creating darken and lighten converter instances with custom lightness offsets

Wiring it all together so one color change drives your full palette
