[Colors and theming] - Exception: "$color of red($color) must be a color" for certain colors

When I’m trying to adjust the color theme sometimes I get an exception on SCSS compile-time:

ERROR in ./resources/sass/app.scss
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/css-loader/index.js):

This happens with some colors. deep-purple works for example

I believe 353de23 should have fixed this issue and is released in v2.1.1. The simple test script I wrote to compile all $rmd-* colors worked without throwing errors with this fix, but just let me know if this error still occurs and I’ll reopen this issue.

Simple test script (mostly so I can reference this again)

const { renderSync } = require('node-sass');
const scssVariables = require('@react-md/theme/dist/scssVariables').default;

const colors = Object.keys(scssVariables).filter(
  (name) => !name.startsWith('rmd-theme')
);

const errors = [];
colors.forEach((color) => {
  const data = `@import '@react-md/theme/dist/scss/color-palette';

$rmd-theme-primary: $${color};

@import 'react-md/dist/scss/react-md';
@include react-md-utils;
`;

  try {
    // console.log(`Trying to compile '$${color}'...`);
    // console.log(data);
    // console.log('');
    renderSync({
      data,
      includePaths: ['node_modules'],
    });
    // console.log('Compiled successfully!');
  } catch (error) {
    errors.push({ color, error });
  }
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(errors, null, 2));

I can try to help out if you provide the following information:

• version of react-md and sass
• a stack trace of the error
• what $rmd-* overrides you are using
• what build tool (create-react-app, nextjs, gatsby, vite, etc) - optional
