Ah right, then you seek #18309. The closest we have is theme.palette.background.paper (Surface) and theme.palette.background.default (Background).

@oliviertassinari I don’t think this issue is same as #18309. @Ashkanph’s question is about how to define colors like surface and onSurface, as described by the material design spec here: Surface, Background and Error Colors.

I wish that the documentation for customizing the palette would explain how to set these colors. Indeed, I can also see references to theme.palette.background..., however, if these would be documented thoroughly here, that would be great.

According to my observation, these aren’t put into the documentation for a reason. However, the Material Design spec clearly defines what these colors are and how they are used. Why not put it in the documentation?
